SOP solver transfer points from dop import

[nico_venster]

Hello, I am having a problem with the SOP solver when trying to transfer points from a dop import to a points from volume. When I use the attribute transfer on its own the points get moved no problem, but when I use the same attribute transfer inside a SOP solver no dice even though it's the same way I've used it a number of times before. The only difference is that I'm transferring points that was created in a flip fluid simulation and I'm using its dop import as the points source.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hello again, I still haven't been able to solve this problem. To try and solve the visual problem in a different way I tried to take the fluid as it is imported into the fluid SOP from the DOP network. From there I tried to plug the fluid particles into a popnet and use a collision detect to delete the particles. This still is not working...pretty lame haha! What is happening in the shot is a droplet of fluid falls onto a floor and afterwards a little car comes to clean it. Again any help or insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi,

 

Can you post a .hip file?  It's a lot easier (and more fun) to figure out a problem with a scene in front of you. Otherwise it's just guessing.

Hi Paul, thanks for your interest in my predicament haha! I have attached a file which includes everything (including my fragmented attempts) except for the animated alembic file as it is a bit too big to upload and I tried to save out an obj and animate it in houdini but I found that I also couldn't upload an obj.

 

If you have any input or pointers I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!
