thekenny Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 anyone have a pointer for calling up a attribute you just created via a paint sop ? Scenario... I have an attribute create for a point variable single float, I append a paintSop and paint it using the overrides and all is groovy. then I want to add another attribute create SOP to flip the result so the remaining points are the inverse of the first variable. So I go and do a 1-$VariableName in the Default field and it doesn't like the attribute, so I try to use a point expression to call it up --> point ("../paint1", $PT, "VARNAME",0) and it works only to the point it assigns the attribute, but NOT the right number? thoughts?

Hudson Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 You are probably a very experienced houdini user. But if I would solve this I would create two group sops under the paintSOP to separate the painted from the non-painted(or different color) points with "group by expression" . After that you could apply the invert value for only the non-painted points. Combine that with an attribute transferSOP and you should get what you are looking for. I hope I understood what you were looking for. you have certainly been using Houdini for more then 10 years than me so don't get me wrong if you find my post stupid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anim Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 ... So I go and do a 1-$VariableName in the Default field and it doesn't like the attribute... write it into Value field, Default field is for default value of the attribute and that cannot be varying per point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
