Definitely one of the first things i wanted to do in Houdini that ended up being very difficult for a beginner to understand. But for anyone fresh into Houdini, understanding this will help you understand multiple necessary aspects of Houdini. This explains it really well as always!

Is it possible to do non random type variants, like points in a volume a different shape or going from xmin to xmax shape change?

@InsideTheMindSpace Жыл бұрын

Yes you can. You can set them just like any other attribute.

Cool! - is it lifehack or official method?

Really helpful thanks! What is I have 150 objects? What would be the fastest way? Tks

@InsideTheMindSpace Жыл бұрын

Probably wire them all into a merge and then a foreach connected piece and give a variant number based off the iteration number

@InsideTheMindSpace Жыл бұрын

Or even better you can probably pack them all, then merge them and set an attribute wrangle down and set the variant based on the ptnum

The fastest way is to avoid this method all together and use the new Attribute from pieces SOP to generate the variant attribute on your input points using a geometry library (merged geo). It's a much better and more configurable way with things like per piece weighting, clustering etc.

This is true. I had forgotten about that node when I made this however I will be covering that soon and it is actually important to understand what that node is doing which is essentially this. I'll talk more about this soon.

@@InsideTheMindSpace Yeah, it's so much more user friendly and saves a lot of time, but I get your point, always multiple ways to skin a cat in Houdini.

Sorry, but this is an outdated method!!! Please do not do it this way. It's been replaced with the Attribute from pieces SOP to generate the variant attribute on your input points using a geometry library (merged geo). It's a much better and more configurable way with things like per piece weighting, clustering etc.
