Preview: Showcase Copy to Points in Vex
Added 2019-07-10 06:59:28 +0000 UTCHey folks,
Since I have phases where I can't record I spent time on researching or experimenting.
I remembered an old discussion I had with Farmfield where I argued that you can turn most nodes into Vex. I did that for the Hive talk with the scatter node.
The copy to points sop came up and as a challenge I gave it a try. How to turn this
Into this
And to my surprise it was easier as I thought.
But I never made a video out of that so this will probably the next free video after the python import.
To be clear - it is not meant as an alternative for using the copy to point node. But it is a very good exercise AND showcase for the way Houdini handles its data.
I often hear from otherwise seasoned houdini artists that wrangles and the way they iterate and loop brings up confusion.
This might be a good pointer.
Cheers
Dave
