Select color precisly from @Cd (keying, vex, RGB)

[minuit]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to select the color from a point cloud (in the geo context). Separate them to apply a different pscale attribute depending of the color value.

With VEX , it's easy to select separte RGB and CMY values with addition and subtraction :

Red = @Cd.r - @Cd.b - @Cd.g    Green =  @Cd.g - @Cd.r - @Cd.b      Blue = @Cd.b - @Cd.r - @Cd.g

Cyan = @Cd.b*@Cd.g-@Cd.r    Yellow = @Cd.r*@Cd.g-@Cd.b     Magenta = @Cd.r*@Cd.b-@Cd.g

 

My problem is that i lack a precise value to separate intermediate values, pastel colors, colors between two primary colors, etc ...

How can i pick a special color to applied precisely my pscale value. Is it a good way ? Is there an other way to have a color picker ? a Keying function ?

 

Hope this is clear,

Regards,

Hi Dorian,

have you tried the cluster points-SOP yet?

Hi,
you can do this to pick the exact color value:

H

or this:

if (@Cd == {1,0.5,0.2} ) {
    @P.y = 1;  
}

with pcfind() you can create a picker.

Hi !

Thanks @konstantin magnus. This node is a little bit heavy process, however it is interesting to group point by @Cd attribute, sadly cluster attribute looks random...

Nice @Christoph_H. I tried your code it is working well. I didn't understand what you want to do with  vector picker (v@picker) ?

Also a coding friend give me the operation to do for this. I almost succeed that way :
