importing multiple point positions into CHOPS

Recommended Posts

HI. I have a simple POP network (3 particles) and I need to somehow import the translation values of these particles into CHOPs. I tried to create an attribute in SOPs where the value would be "point("/obj/model/pop1", $PT, "P", 0 (and 1,2))", but when I fetch it in CHOPS, it only gives me one value per channel. What to do? :(

Thanks a lot,

Luka

It should work like this: once you have you POPs done, bring them to SOPs with the pop SOP, then use a Geometry CHOP. In there make it load P and give names to channels like tx ty tz.

Then depending on the format you want for your channels choose either static or animated.

With static you only create 3 channels with one point=one frame relation. That means fixed length to number of points, but indexes vary with animation. That's useful for example to export those back to point attributes in SOPs.

Animated with create 3 channels (if you brought the 3 components of P) for each point.
