Hi, if you have SideFX Lab installed you can use Labs Disc Generator hda for creation primitive like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
konstantin magnus 811 Posted February 1 Hi Robert, it's the same in Houdini. Just take a tube, set the first radius and the height to 0 and append a fuse node. disc.hipnc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bennell 0 Posted February 1 I actually need a quad-based primitive. Can that also be created with a tube or the Labs Disc Generator? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicvvsh 131 Posted February 2 Yes, it can but you should use extra nodes with them. prim.hipnc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
konstantin magnus 811 Posted February 2 Or simply extrude an 8-sided disc inwards and clip it twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bennell 0 Posted February 2 Can I allow my primitive to have only certain parameters because I want to create a primitive for scales? 08_RepTile_Scale_Test_01_InitialTest.mp4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
