So I'm trying to split a group of objects into two groups based on a distance or something better.
See here:
The Blue group have six balls close to each other, same for the Green group, So, to split the two groups, I want to use the space between them if possible.
What I tried is this: I've connected a point SOP to Group1, then attached a foreach SOP to the point SOP, and plugged a Ray SOP to the each SOP inside foreach, since Houdini document stated that the Ray SOP needs points as input 1 to work. But .. I couldn't figure out how to use it probably.
Wow,Thanks, really good, for a second I thought this is it.. but um ..
this would work for this case, but maybe not if you need multiple groups where only points within a tolerance of any direction are grouped together
maybe is what I'm looking for.
I have this fractured cylinder, deleted the pieces inside it, so I have left and right pieces (maybe up and down in some cases), this solution (despite how clever it is) won't work for this specific case. I've changed it to $BBY for testing.
Now, the left and the right parts could be wider (more pieces) or thinner (less pieces), maybe animated too. :cry:
Try Cluster Points (you'll likely need to tweak your control attributes) and Partition SOP with the rule set to grp_$CLUSTER (which will create a group for each value of the cluster attribute).
Thanks, Yeah, Cluster might work, except that there is something buggy with the result.
I've connected a color SOP to the partition SOP for testing. So on a frame, the left pieces become red, on the second frame, the right pieces are the red .. huh!
I need to play more with the cluster parameters and see.
