How can I select the highest and maximum values from a set of values in attribute vop?

Here I am trying to extract the maximum and minimum values for the mask attribute.

I don't believe it's possible, and even if it were, it probably wouldn't be efficient to perform this operation inside a VEX Wrangle or an Attribute VOP. Doing so would result in an identical operation being repeated as many times as the number of points or primitives.

For finding the minimum and maximum values of an attribute, you can utilize the Attribute Promote SOP.

Hi,

You can use the Minimum and Maximum Merge Modes of Set Attribute VOP but they won't be resolved until the Attribute VOP finishes executing:

How do I select the primitives or the points with the maximum mask values using attrib promote? Is it only supposed to promote the attributes to the maximum or minimum? I am not understanding. I have only known about its usage from promoting one class of attribute to another.


It is not specifically choosing the maximum values. It is containing all the lesser values for mask as well.

I checked the geometry spreadsheet and it contains attributes with all values when I select the 'set attrib node'. How do I extract the points only containing the maximum value?
