Sagroth Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'm trying to make a setup where I can paint point values for particle source geometry and control birth via them. The problem is - if I paint Cd of my geometry it can be used as $CR ($CG or $CB) in birth probability of source pop (the same is with other pre-existing attributes like Alpha -> $CA), but custom attributes (emitRate for example) aren't available in source pop like a $ local variables right away (they do exist as attributes though) - no problems to check "Create Local Variables" and use smth like $EMITRATE1 in the following nodes, but not in source pop itself. Actually, I can make an expression for Birth Probability: point("../../emitRate_paint", $P, "emitRate", 0) and it actually works correctly, but prints a lot of warnings about $P unknown (I've attached a sample hip). So, is there a better way to use custom attributes from sop right away in source pop? emitRate.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
