Noob question regarding copy sops and the preserve group option


Recommended Posts

Hello guys, I am trying to copy metaballs to a specific group of particles impoerted into a geo node with the import DOP node. My setup is quite simple, (DOP import)------(Copy 1 Where cubes are copied to all particles in the sim)------(Copy  2 where I try to add metaballs to my pop group created in the DOP network) The fist copy node sees my group, the second copy which it routes into does not.  How do I go about preserving this group of particles so that the second copy node aknowleges it?  I have the preserve groups option ticked in the inital copoy node but it dosn't seem to have any real impact.  Thanks guys!

In the copy node the point you copy object to are lost and replaced by the object.

To solve your problem simply input the particles from the Dop import directly into the second copy node.

and then merge the results from copy 1 and copy 2 using a merge node.

(DOP import)------(Copy 1 ) ---- (merge 1)

(DOP import)------(Copy 2 )-----(Merge 1)
