Copy Sop

[Lyonz]

Hi all,

wondering what is the simplist way to offset geometry copied to points ? Im wanting the geometry to be half way between points.

the easiest way to offset copies would be putting xform sop to left input and offset it there

however this would offset it between the points only if the points are rotated towards each other and you know their distance

so for your case the easiest way would be to generate new points from existing ones where each would be in between

(for example by resampling it by polygon edge to 2 segments then delete every other point)

then copy on those points

(of course you need to generate correct N and up or orient attributes for stable rotation on copies)

Thanks got that working now.
