stephenl Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Basically I have a suspension bridge and I have a changing number of wires (user can change how many wires hold up bridge.) What is the best way to treat the wires as seperate objects in DOPS? I need to add constraints based on their center and bb Edited August 13, 2011 by stephenl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anim Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 you probably don't need them as separate dop objects, you can specify constraints based on groups which can be automatically updated in sops as the user changes the wirecount keeping just single wire object or you can build more complicated constrain setups with Apply Relationship DOP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenl Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Thank you, this worked. I'm applying a large force to the wires; how can I get each wire or even each point so that I can use it as a seed for rand() Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anim Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 seed for rand() for what ? you can already use per point attributes on wires coming from input SOPs or if you need it animated then from SOP solver here is the list of attributes automatically recognized by wire DOP http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini11.0/nodes/dop/wireobject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
