Hi, I´m new to Houdini so I´m doing various tests. I´m playing around with the bend node and since I´m coming from Maya, I´m trying to parent the bend node to a bone (in this simple exercise)
I did this CHOP network where you can get the world space of anything, inthis case nulls, and the questions is, how can I extract data from the vector node or the getworldspace node to do a simple copy parameter / paste relative reference? The objective is to position the Capture Origin and Capture Direction to follow the bone.

Hi,

Not sure if this works, but did you try to refer the channels directly in the Capture Origin and Capture Direction ? Something like :

`chf(../chopnet1/constraintgetworldspace1/tx)`
`chf(../chopnet1/constraintgetworldspace1/ty)`
`chf(../chopnet1/constraintgetworldspace1/tz)`

`chf(../chopnet1/vector1/tx)`
`chf(../chopnet1/vector1/ty)`
`chf(../chopnet1/vector1/tz)`

Thanks for the answer … it should work but it doesn´t. By the way, the correct path argument is using ch, not chf.

I did get it to work, if you activate the “export” flag of the vector node, you get the data sent to the geometry node, and all I did was creating separate geometry nodes, one for the vector and another for the position and then just copied parameters and pasted relative reference to the bend node. This way I´m “parenting” the bend node to the bone position and rotation.
