Instance To Disk


Recommended Posts

hey all

im trying to do this crowd thing using point instancing

and something that i picked up that would be nice if it were possible is

just like when instancing shaders,

one would have the following string in the vm_surface attr

op:/vex/superInstanceShader Cd 1.1141 0.962553 0.826066 map Z:/PROJECTS/TOTAL_Stadium/houdini/uvCrowd_Data/test/uvShirtPattern_1.tif _shop_ /shop/superInstanceShader1_shop_ /shop/superInstanceShader1

is it not possible to do that in the instance attr,

for instance right now i have

instance attr pointing to a obj(bounded file) with a file sop implying the bounging box info, like this

/obj/largeCrowd/body19/body19_A_1_19_69

cant there be a solution that i have

instance attr pointing to a file on the hard drive, and not have to point to a obj

op:/sop/file $JOB/GEO/largeCrowd/body19/body19_A_1_19_69.bgeo _sop_ /sop/file1

dunno any ideas how one can do this?

hope i made myself clear here :-) ;)

thanks in advance
