Hello,

Making a foray into POPs.

Doing the legacy Fire tutorial from the SESI site.
The tutorial requires that from within the sourcePOP, I specify the Source Object. I know what it should be. However, I cant find the field to specify source object in the soucepop's params. I tried using the source group field by attempting to add the source object to a group in the OBJ context. Not working for me.

Probably because of version differences.

Any pointers are appreciated.

It's the parameter labelled “SOP”. Hit the plus button and pick the source geometry you want to use.

Thanks for the reply edward.

I need to specify my source object according to the tute.
The very next step requires me to specify my source sop.
In following the tute I've been working within an obj called Fire_source.

• select Fire_source as the source object
• select particle_rest as the source SOP

Or are you saying that the sourcePOP assumes the source object to be the upper level of the sop you choose?

So, It seems to be working this way. Simply by assigning the Source SOP. This version knows which Source Object your're referring to.
Problem solved, unless I hear differently from someone.

You're right, Shannon. It has always worked this way. When you specify the source object in the first menu, the second menu would be limited to only the SOPs in that object. So it was actually kind of redundant to have two parameters.
