Bend
A quick introduction to the Bend SOP and its interactive handles. This can be used to bend part of a model or the whole model.
0:01:52
Sweep
Explore the Sweep SOP which lets you sweep one or more profile along another curve then use handles and ramps to control the results. This tool also sets up proper UVs while sweeping.
0:02:36
Distance Along Geometry
A quick look at the Distance Along Geometry SOP which lets you set a start point then visualize along the surface from the point.
0:01:38
Bevel
Explore the Bevel SOP and its ability to work with points on flat geometry and to handle situations where different bevels collide with each other.
0:02:05
Group Expand
The Group Expand SOP lets you take an existing group and expand it procedurally using a number of different control factors.
0:03:14
Pyro Spread
The Pyro Spread SOP lets you manage the spread of Pyro FX attributes such as temperature or burn using other layers to influence the results
