yesterday I started to work with Houdini and ofc I already came across a problem I can't seem to solve, even after intense research. The problem I have is actually pretty basic I guess, but maybe I don't know about the right terminology.
So here it goes: I created an Asset (or Tool !?) via “Asset -> New Digital Asset From Selection…”, containing a bunch of nodes doing some handy stuff for me. The input for this particular Asset is supposed to be a Box. Among all the tasks this Asset is doing for me, there is one task creating another box. Now I want this Box (which is created in my Asset Node Chain) to be, let's say half the size of the Input Mesh! How do I do that!?
I know I could go into my Asset's Box size parameters and add something like
ch(“../../box1/sizex”). But this is too hardcoded for me, I actually need the “box1” part in that expression to be dynamic and actually based on the input mesh (wich indeed is “box1” in some case, but it can vary, since I want to use my Asset multiple times, based on different boxes).I hope I managed to explain my issue good enough so you Houdini Pro's know what I am trying to do.
Thanks in Advance,
Marten
