The xyzdist function does not work well

[fresiaa]

Hello Guys

I use Houdini 18.

I used a ‘xyzdist’ using a shoe-shaped geo, but only a strange line appears instead of a shoe.

What's the problem?

you are copying N from the points so it'll not be what you think

also in this line:

vector near_pos2 = primuv(2, "p", near_prim, near_uv) ;

the "p" should be capital "P"

vector near_pos2 = primuv(2, "P", near_prim, near_uv) ;

 

and alternatively you can use Point Deform SOP which will work straight away, plus it will offer you ability to smooth out the deformation a bit and also it will work in case some points are outside of rest geo
