hey hey,

i need to know 2 things so i figured i ask since i'm doing realy complicated stuff whillest if been working with houdini for about a month now.

Question_01: i wanna check for each point in a object if the point is inside a volume (voxol) or not.
how do you do that

Question_02: second i wanna check for primative primative penetration.
so i wanna check if a ege (Object_01) is penetrating a ege or primative of Object_02.

i know i'm probebly asking difficult questions whilest i'm a beginner but you know best thing to do is just throw yourself in the deep pits of hell and go for it.

thank you, Tamis van der Laan.

As far as question 1, there's a volume sample vop, which you could use to sample a volume. From there you could just see if there's density or not, and group accordingly.

thnx for the info m8 altho i found that expression this afternoun already

for the intersection check i was thinking about finding the neighbours of a point and the shooting rays at them to see ifs intersecting with anything.

and then if there are 2 coordinates that are the same just delete one of them.
