nibbla Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Hi! I'm inputting a few groups into a "Foreach named primitive"-loop via the Name SOP, now I want each iteration of the loop to output as a group as well... But how to manage this? I want the old box0 group to be called boxmirrored0 after the loop, box1 to be boxmirror1 and so on (while being also mirrored), so I need to be able to put an attribute in the group name or something, like this -> Example file is attached. All help is greatly appreciated!!! Best, Albin group output foreach.hipnc Edited April 10, 2019 by nibbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtrvtr Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I'm not sure if 17.5 has this fancy new notation. But usually you would do like in this following file: odf_group_rename.hipnc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nibbla Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 That is awesome! Thanks! I didn't know you could hook the metadata to the Mirror SOP, what does that do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtrvtr Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 In this particular case, nothing. It's just way to get a easier-to-write reference to the metadata node. In other cases it enables you to compile a block of nodes. More information the video below. Compiling nodes is useful for performance reasons and to be able to use the Invoke SOP. Which is a bit of a more advanced workflow. The new material rbd tools in 17 use them, if you want to see some examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
