Ali Haider Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I have a spiral and i want its normals to follow on another sequentially i am using point sop with normal values point("../" + opinput(".",0), $PT +1 , "P",0) - $TX point("../" + opinput(".",0), $PT +1 , "P",1) - $TY point("../" + opinput(".",0), $PT +1 , "P",2) - $TZ it works in case of torus but not with spiral.. please correct me if i am doing something wrong untitled.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloomendale Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 lock your file sop to embed geometry data in file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mantragora Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) ...what is the purpose of this dissolve node? Since you didn't added the curve that created geometry and I didn't wanted to play with finding center of the spiral at each section to create one from it, I just extracted one line from it to create normals. It's easier on curve than on many polygons. Edited May 31, 2013 by mantragora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
