Hi!
I'm trying to find a way of creating procedurally old school Oil wells ( there will be blood style)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/Oil_wells_just_offshore_at_Summerland,_California,_c.1915.jpg [upload.wikimedia.org]
I was able to implement a ramp into a sweep sop and I think was able to have control over the shape but I am stuck and its been busting my head…
I am still inexperienced with the software therefore any idea and suggestion would be extremely helpfully and really appreciated . I'm including my save file.
thank you

one thing that gets people into a tight spot in Houdini is that they start building stuff and then hit a wall - it's really hard to stop and step back from one method to see that it's either just not working or that there is a better way.
in your file there is a great many transforms to move things into a specific place, this will make it very hard to make adjustments in the future
in my file you'll see that most of the structure is made from very simple things that can be adjusted quickly to effect large changes down stream
I think you're doing well, but steal some of the ideas in my file and adjust your work to take advantage of some of the tricks there…
