I am trying to create a SOP vopnet to find the distance of the two nearest points to a given point, similar to the output of a Voronoi Noise. Basically there are two inputs, the geometry, and then a point cloud for the geometry to check against.

I assume this can be achieved with a simple While/point cloud misc. in VOPs, unfortunately, my knowledge on how to create the while loop in VOPs is a bit weak. As in what gets plugged in where and all that :?

thanks for your input!

In VEX/VOPs, I think you would need to use the point cloud functions. In SOPs, the AttribTransfer SOP is probably enough.

Thanks Edward. I am trying to get the discreet positions of the two nearest points, unfortunately the Attrib Transfer blends the positions of these two nearest points… Hmmm, back to my while loops…

I thought there was a way to make them not blend. Like making it only consider 1 sample.

Ha! I got it. Turned out I couldn't use attribtransfer because there was no way to only isolate the second closet point…
And thanks Luca, where ever you are for those example files on the exchange…
