Spaz8 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I seem to run into this issue a lot. I create a line of points, and then use the sort $TX-$TX2 .. trick to get all the normals pointing down the line. The heading and pitch are fine, but the "bank" is very often not what I want. Which is obvious when I begin to copy geo to those points. I have tried using things like polyframe, and even blending normals from two sources with a vop sop without much success. Is there some sort of "up vector" trick I don't know of. I seem to alwayy be able to only get 2 of the 3 orientations of the normal how I want. Thanks for any suggestions.

SpencerL Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 You can do a double cross product to get correct orientation. upVector_v1.hipnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz8 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the example file. Had to open it in H14 apprentice. The pointvop_setup_vector node errors in 13. I don't see anything super 14 specific, so should be easy to replicate, thank you. Edited February 4, 2015 by Spaz8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
