breadbox Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) is there a way to directly view the information passed through a VOP network? like a spreadsheet editor or a details view? for example If I multiply point position by a constant vector is there a way to view the output vector? I can plug the output vector into the point position and view the result in the viewport, but would like to see it numerically represented in a list or graph? Ultimately I'm trying to export / convert euler rotation values. Is there another method for output so I can output the result of a VOP network but not through point positions, like a custom variable or attribute? I could maybe do color or normal but is there a way to add custom? Also because vectors and floats can be easily mapped to color so that I can view in the details view, but things like matrix how to easily view those? Currently I'm converting the matrix to a float and viewing that but its slow to map the outputs.

lukeiamyourfather Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 There's a VOP called Add Attribute. Be sure to enter a local variable name if you want to be able to access the attribute once back in SOP with expressions. http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini12.1/nodes/vop/addattrib There's the spreadsheet view back in SOP which will show the value of attributes per point (or primitive, vertex, whatever). Right click a SOP node and select "Spreadsheet" from the list to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadbox Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 o.k. cool so that works pretty good. So Ill have to jump out to the SOP view and look at the spreadsheet there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to keep it open off to the side while you work in VOP if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgoossens Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 o.k. cool so that works pretty good. So Ill have to jump out to the SOP view and look at the spreadsheet there. Jump out of the node and pin your spreadsheet view. This way it stays locked even when you are inside of the vopsop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikarus Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 alternatively you can use the print vop and turn on output to console as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumble Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) how do you get the print vop to work in a material network I came across this thread when I was having another print problem: http://www.sidefx.co...ewtopic&t=22087 Hope this helps Edited November 29, 2012 by Mumble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
