Hi guys

just trying to work out how to place different modular sections on a curve. placing them on points is not working for me, as they only line up if the curve is strait.

Hi Getyamamout, have you looked into the chain node yet?

https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/sop/chain.html [www.sidefx.com]

It "repeats one or more pieces of geometry along a curve".

Ah Konstantin Magnus
Chain is doing a better job just need to have it a bit smoother and let the ends merge into each other a bit
Getyamamout
Ah ha didn't realise I could use more points on the curve, with this node to get a more rounded look.

And the joint was offset by -3mm in the alignment tab.
Getyamamout
Here is the next question... can I use the chain with G-splats???
Konstantin Magnus
The chain node should be fine as long as your input is correct.
Getyamamout
Thank you for your help Konstantin Magnus.
