AttribComposite operation

Hi, Would it be possible to have the AttribComposite SOP to have Add, Subtract, and Mult operation?

Might be useful but sounds like a job for point sops and digital assets Very Happy

Maybe a switch sop to switch between the operations

It's easy enough in attribcreate just use the local variable mapping and basic math

$FOO + $BAR

$BAR - $FOO

But I agree I always think the attribute composite sop should handle this. Maybe an attribute math sop (like the chop one) would be handy.

Hey.

Yeah, I know ADD, SUB, MULT operations are very easy to do via Point SOP or multitude of other methods. It just that I ran into the issue of how do I perform ADD/SUB/MULT on x-number of attributes all in one pass within the SOP Solver DOP... Hence I was hoping that those basic operations would be trivial for SESI to add for the next build or something. Smile

is it?

Pleeeasssseee? Mr. Green

Ah yes working with multiple attributes at the same time, that would be handy.... hence my reference to the math chop.

It could be nice to whip up a quick vop sop to do this too... might even run faster than the point sop or attribcomposite.

yeah, VOP SOP will in most cases be faster than point sop for sure. But both VOP and CHOP seems to require that you have a known set of attributes to composite. It's just that if I have an unknown number of attributes to composite, AttribComposite seemed a better solution. If a couple more of those composite operations built into it, that is. Wink
