Hi Fellow houdini users !


I'm really just beginning my exploration of this magnificent software and am encountering 2 problems in my current project :

1 - using a color Sop im choosing Ramp from attribute and I can't get it to ramp the color based on the point numbers ? It seems so intuitive and logic but there's probably a catch because it doesn't work when I put Ptnum or P or N, in the attribute field ? Is there a resource as to what are the valid values for the attribute field ?

2 - Is there a way to - lets say I have a nice variety of colors in the range of the rainbow to reduce the number of colors (as the quantize would do in Substance Designer) so that I end up with 7 colors for example instead of all the subtle variation ?

thanks for your support and cues to improve my understanding !

Hey
Definitely learn about quantizing things your self because then you can apply it anywhere and do it all straight in Wrangle.
