magneto Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Basically say you have point normals and then added a Point SOP to remove the normals using the No Normals option. But instead of removing all point normals, you specify a group for the Point SOP. But the Point SOP still removes all point normals regardless. Isn't it supposed to remove only the ones in the group?

asnowcappedromance Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 it's not possible for some points to have "no normals" while another set has normals within the same geometry. Merge an objects that has normals with an object that doesn't and you'll see that the second objects normals get set to 0,0,0 by default.

Macha Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Just set the 0 vector on those points? Whenever you merge objects you will need the same attributes on it, otherwise you get a warning and something will be invented. If you do it to save memory you'll have to split them into different streams I suppose. Or always keep them in a group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thanks guys. If that's the reasoning that's cool with me Setting them to 0 does what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
