Or, in VEX (which I think is something like 3 or 4 VOPs…)

sop
push(float amount=0)
{
P += amount * normalize(N);
}

Why use VEX when there's the Peak SOP though?

Would VEX not be much slower in the viewport as a SOP?

It's quicker for a coder to write a new sop than find the name of the one that does the job already… :wink:

The trick is finding just the right hammer for every screw

As far as I know, no. VEX SOPs are pretty fast.
