Hello!
Cant find answer anywhere on forums (too obvious?)
How to create points per face? Or force copy (or emission attribute for particles), to use center of the polygon. Foreach node?
I'm trying to do similar effect like in this topic:
http://www.orbaz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2275&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=align&start=15 [orbaz.com]
In this 3ds max setup center of the spawn point is kind of cheated - it's just Y mult 0.5 (thus Z in Houdini).
THEN, I'll need to align along normal, and probably “find loop”, or any other technique that will align them in one direction.
Point per Face / making scalemail

Thank you for help! I'll try both solutions today.
edit: Another problem is: how to promote or copy N from prims into new points? I've tried changing class, or work on prim and points - but then N was gone details.
I've managed to copy N from vertecies, but then the normal of new centered points is bad.
