one (unrelated) question zengchen, is there a deeper meaning why you use a string parameter

However, there are no JSON-parsing expression functions, and limited string manipulation functions, to deal with such a string in an expression.

Ramps are commonly packed as JSON formatted strings by Houdini operations.

On a separate note, is there a way to put an attribute directly into a field in a node?

f@rotate = 45;
vector rotDegree = set(f@rotate, 0, 0);

int rotOrder = chi("rot_order"); // define a rotate order
vector4 rotQua = eulertoquaternion(radians(rotDegree ), rotOrder);

p@orient = qmultiply(p@orient, rotQua);

Is there a way to use euler rotations in the copy to points node?

vector rotDegree = {90, 0, 0};
int rotOrder = chi("rot_order"); // define a rotate order
vector4 rotQua = eulertoquaternion(radians(rotDegree ), rotOrder);

p@orient = qmultiply(p@orient, rotQua);

matrix  maketransform(int trs, int xyz, vector t, vector r, vector s)

rot (vector4) is additional rotation (applied after the orientation attributes above)

p@orient = qmultiply(p@orient, p@rot);

KineFX sounds interesting…

Actually, looks like it is 18.6.2 already (https://github.com/sideeffects/HoudiniUsdBridge)

I'm on 18.0.499 and I definitely don't have it.

eikonoklastes
I don't have this, nor do I recall ever seeing it. What's the secret?

almost, when you increase the value in current distance its doing what I want, but when you decrease the value it pushes the point in the wrong order. I want that the left point moves until it reaches the next one, then pushes this point until both reach the next one.
