Book Generator - help with books leaning onto each other


trx

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

I am trying to build a book generator where I can have multiple books leaning at an angle onto each other, the problem is I am not able to figure out a way to have the books touching, without using RBD or any simulation. 

I have tried projecting a point at the top corner while also having the pivot there, then trying to project via a ray and have it on the previous book iteration but I can't get it working.

I am a beginer at Houdini so I don't know VEX and am struggling with it since I tried looking at an attribute wrangler as well.

Does anybody have an idea on how I could have each book touching the previous one perpedincularii based on the top pivot?

Many thanks
