TomRaynor Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hi everyone, I am trying to scatter points on an environment sphere and have the scattered points pick up the colour of the environment image at their scatter position. I was wondering if anyone had a better way of doing it than the way I am currently which is using the pic expression to pick up the colour from a file node in a compositing network. This method just seems a little slow to calculate to me (I guess due to the per point pic lookup expression). (see attached hip file) Cheers, Tom environmentSpherePointLightInstancing.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosku Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Wow, yeah, that really is slow. Try using a Color Map VOP in a VOPSOP. See attached. environmentSpherePointLightInstancing_cosku.v01.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
