Hello

This is a bit a noob-question, I guess.
When importing alembic I managed to convert the color information by remapping the alembic name ‘rgba’ to the houdini name ‘Cd’.
In my geometry spreadsheet I see now the point attributes Cd, Cd, Cd and Cd and I do see color in my viewport (yay!).
Now I would like to use the Cd channel as an input for the density of a scatter OP. Maybe even with a multiplyer. How can I set such a thing up?

Thanks

Michiel

In the Scatter sop turn on Density Attribute set it to Cd. I would set up a multiplier to Cd with a point wrangle upstream from the scatter, or a point VOP with fit range but if you're looking to control the number of points that's all in the Scatter sop

Thank you very much. now that I re-read my question I see all kinds of stuff has been clipped off during writing. Having used brackets in my typing resulted in formatting the tekst instead of displaying what Houdini shows me.
The thing is that I have a four-float value of color, consisting of CdR, CdG, CdB and CdA (alpha). I want to use the last channel, Cd-bracketOpen-A-bracketClose. How can I solo out that last alpha-component to be used as a density-input?

use PointWrangle before scatter

then use density as Density Attribute in Scatter

So very much yesso!
Thanks beaucoup!
