I want to transfer attribute once then hold the value

[Valent]

Hi,

I want to transfer an attribute to an animated object, but I want the transfer to happen just once at frame 1 and not at every frame.

Can I do that?

 

I know that in this particular case I can simply put transform node at the end of the chain and that would be it, but I'm looking for a more universal solution.

Also, can I make the 'remesh_SOP' to remesh the geometry just once, because by default it remeshes whenever any position change happens?

hi ..

use CopyAttr SOP i think Work!!!

you can freeze an animated object on the first frame with Timeshift SOP, do the transfer, and then reapply the animation with Attribute Copy SOP. this is topology dependent so you can't do any topology alterations in this process.

a small expression could be made so say something like:

if($F == 1){transferAttribs}else{do_nothing}

... I'm sure the other methods above are simpler though?

@Milad Savar, @davpe Thank you, it works!

It is sort of mind-bending at first glance but I will try to get used to it

@MilesS1 Thanks, but that was not quite what I was looking for, in your solution the transfer happens only IF frame == 1

"sop solver"  is one way to go
