randomize instancepoint()


TopNub

Recommended Posts

Hello!

I have an instance of geometry, which works with

Point instantsing check. I also have the geometry for the seating, the parameters that I want to randomize. I want to use the instantsepoint ().

So far I got only change the color of the shader. To render produces a skittles.

Position and other parameters change so far failed.

In the future my goal is to randomization parameters volumevop to create a large field of different clouds.

Please help. Example below.

you cannot vary geometry by instancepoint(), just the object level transforms and visibility switches

it's mentioned here:

http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini11.0/expressions/instancepoint

http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini11.0/copy/instancing

if you've had different geometry for each instance then it would not be instance anymore

the exception would be render time modification of the geometry like displacement shader or if you are using volumes try instancepoint() in CVEX shader (if used for rendertime DSO)
