lukeiamyourfather Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 For this I think you'd need to use the Solver SOP. If you try to change the attribute just with a AttributeCreate SOP it will always update each time the network cooks instead of just once on a previous frame.

You can do it with points in POP's. I hope it helps. frame_stamping.hipnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
