How to use a field in SOP Solver and modify Geometry data?

[magneto]

Hi,

 

I have geometry data called Geometry in a dynamics object and a field called density. I want to create points every frame using this density field and save them onto Geometry.

 

I am using a SOP Solver. If I use density, then I can get the field from this dynamics object but when I create points the simulation stops getting density as it becomes points.

 

So I can't do that. If I use Geometry in the SOP Solver, then I get Geometry but I don't know how to get density because it's not like in SOPs.

 

How can I achieve this?

 

 

Thanks

Not sure what you mean. Example hip?

I made a simple file. I am trying to accumulate new points generated using scatter on the density field, but I don't know the best way to do this because if I type density on SOP Solver, then I get the volume, but I can't modify "particles" data.

 

If I bring "particles" data then I don't know how to bring in density field.

 

Am I missing a simple step?

Like this you mean? 

sopsolver_dv.hipnc

 

edit: The "Data Name" on the SOP Solver acts like a promoted parameter really. You can see on the "dop_geometry" inside that the "Geometry Data Path" grabs this. This node is a Dop Import SOP as well, so you can import anything from dops if you want.

Thanks a lot David, exactly what I wanted
