zzilzzily Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Hi, I am going to make a flying coin. And I want to attach a teapot on top face of the coin with Copy SOP. The coin has a animation for flying. not single frame. So I want to know how to set up a Normal toward a coin face at center pivot. Please let me know. tube.abc Edited June 19, 2020 by zzilzzily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobini Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I don't quite see the point of copying a teapot at centre pivot, pointing towards coin face...why not just copy to the coin face ? (but still, if you have the centre pivot and the centre point at the hero face then your N would simply be face center - Pivot) (the file has pot pot on each face...pick 0 or 1...or both.

zzilzzily Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Noobini. Thanks~ But It's not working cause I don't have the Labs Axis Align(Beta) SOP. (Where can I get it?) And I just want to get value a Normal at center pivot toward face of coin. I'm sorry that my English is not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobini Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 assuming you've got H18, just go to sideFX Labs shelf and update https://www.sidefx.com/products/sidefx-labs/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzilzzily Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) My question is below. 1. Import Alembic model. 2. Copy tube with Copy SOP. 3. Tube does not rotate. So I want to rotate like imported coin. Edited June 19, 2020 by zzilzzily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobini Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 upload your file so I don't have to try and guess. - my guess is to make sure your tube is in Z axis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
