Can I use the CHOP nodes to deform a line?

[Masoud 14]

Hi;

Is it possible to deform a line using CHOPs nodes (wave) like the image before?

 

Thanks for helping.

Hi Tesan,

Sorry, I found a bunch of complex things in that link, and I can't figure out how to use them. I simply want to control the shape of a line using CHOPs wave nodes.

This is a good introduction to CHOPs, maybe it can help: https://www.tokeru.com/cgwiki/index.php?title=HoudiniChops

Hi again;

I tried to animate the wave over time, but it doesn't work:

Phase =$T

Phase =$T

It animates the wave inside ChopNetwork, but the geometry is fixed ( and stays at the current time).

Just use that on file that you Get from Sidefx forum phase=$T

Please don't take my advice as an offence The first 2 things you should do when leaning Houdini or any other software, is first learning the fundamentals by looking carefully the documentation and second practice by yourself. And not to bug this channel every second you get stopped.I also get stop 10 times a day, everyday since i start working a long time ago, and hopefull for everyone i don t post here

 

Regards
