megalith Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Hi all! Just got back into Houdini after a long period of inactivity, and it's great to be back!! Running into a bit of a problem with POPs and attributes. In my Source POP I'm using a SOP that has UV coordinates. Now under the Attributes tab I'm turning on Create Local Variables and specifying uv in the Inherity Attributes text box. Now when I create a node later down the stream, I middle-click on the node and it shows up under the Attributes, but for the life of me I can't figure how to use it. I've tried $UVX, $UV[0], etc etc...nothing works. What am I doing wrong?? Hope someone has some sort of answer to this. Thanks! ~megalith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Make sure that you have point uv's as opposed to vertex uv's. If you right-click on the SOP and choose Extended Information, note that the uv attribute is a Float attribute. So the correct accessor will be $UV1, $UV2, $UV3.

I attached an image as well...just in case I'm missing something obvious. Any other thoughts? ~megalith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Strange, try the attached file. Which build of Houdini are you running? The attached file was saved in the latest Houdini 8 build. pop_attrib.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had checked "Create Local Variables", but I hadn't...it was on at one point, but I apparently switched it off. Thanks edward for the file!! Helped me catch my mistake. Thanks guys! ~megalith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
