Hi All,
I'm new to houdini and I have to say it really rocks.
Now with my question, I'm playng with point instancing and I would like to know, how can I control some attribute inside the SOP of the instanced geometry with my particles.
As an example, I can varying the bias attribute of a Color Mix, using the vm_surface attribute, but what I can't do is to change, for example, the blend attribute of two geometry (I'm using a Bldend SOP) from my particles.
Is CHOP the answer? Do you have any advice?

Thanks!
Alex

The answer is:
1) Copy Sop :wink:
2) “Mantra Procedural: instance with Hscript” :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: …but its tooooo slow

PS
Instance with Hscript example here

So there's no way to do it with point instace at all?

AndrewVK: You could always write your own procedural that's faster than running hscript.

Do You mean “Run External Program” ?
Is there any way to transfer point attributes
to this program as parameters? :roll:
