Getting back into Houdini again.

I did this tutorial or a very similar one back in 2009.

For some reason I can't make the polywire part work in Houdini 14.

Somethings work differently. You use Forces which has noise instead of the noise shown.

You also use the Popnetwork_OLD instead of the popnetwork.

This all works fine until I add polywire after the trails node. It doesn't seem to work.

Do I need to add an attribute or make a group for it all to work now?

Thanks.

This is how I make lines from pops.Once you add a int attribute you can interrogate each line and adjust. there are other methods you can use via a trail sop. The key is the line SOP !
