hoknamahn Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 <guess>Random barycentric coordinates on random primitives ... faces? </guess> Georg Well... That was a bad question Another one is: should I write my own function for this kind of job or there is something ready to use in HDK?

jhiggins Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Well... That was a bad question Another one is: should I write my own function for this kind of job or there is something ready to use in HDK? I don't know how much of the scatter SOP is exposed in the HDK, but I would try it out first. if you want your custom op to scatter points and then do something with them, then (assuming the scatter SOP does what you want), I would just have your custom op do the extra bit you want and then wrap the 2 node (or possibly more) into an otl. just my 2cents!! good luck, jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
