This is my first post and I am quite new to Houdini so forgive my ignorance and poor terminology!
I have created a Differential Line Growth effect using a solver that calculates it each frame and feeds the result to a Polywire, all of this inside a Geometry node. The result is an intestine-like geometry that grows over time. The problem is that in a lot of points the surface of the polywire intersects with itself, so I thought it would be cool to import it to a DOP so it could detect self-collisions and, instead of going through the geometry, it would push and squeeze itself. But… When I created the DOP network the simulation inside the Geometry node stopped working and now it only calculates the 1st frame, it does not grow over time.
I think the problem is that the DOP import node only imports the geometry to the DOP network one time, and then runs from there. Any advices on how I can solve this?
Thanks!
