I'm just starting to learn Houdini, and I can't get to understand why the letters of a font node don't behave as individuals when using them in DOPs. What I do is:
1) I create text with FONT node
2) Polyextrude text
3) I use ASSEMBLE node to pack geometry, to create groups, and to create name attribute
4) Inside the DOP NETWORK I import the text via RDB PACKED OBJECT. I see there are as many points and primitves as letters (so I understand I have all the letters as separate pieces, isn't it?)
5) I use a GRAVITY node and an RBD SOLVER.
When i simulate all the text behaves as a unique object, and I don't understand why.
I tried to use the CONNECTIVITY node, and tried to PARTITION to create a group with every letter, but I can't work it out right. Somehow all the FONT node is still connected.
I know I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get tol understant what it is.
Any help would be appreciated. What should be the correct way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance
