Rival Consoles Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Hi there folks, I have a question that seems to be simple but I'm struggling to make it work. For the sake of illustrating the problem, I have 2 grids with different patterns but same poly count. I'm trying to add the points position from pattern 2 to pattern 1 so I have only one grid with both patterns merged. The trick is, I need to see both patterns on the same grid. That being said, I'm not intending to use VDB combine and I have tried in a point vop multiplying the position of both grids then adding the result to the original pattern 1 position but to no avail. Also tried using the minpos function in a point wrangle but no success. I have done this in vops using noise but for some reason, manipulating the points in a similar fashion is not working. Any ideas on how to approach this challenge? Attached are the pattern imgs and hipnc file. combining_two_patterns.hipnc Edited February 22 by Rival Consoles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
