Hi there,
My scene network is rather simple (Picture 1).
I would like to rotate cubes in Y axis according to grayscale value in image.
I have defined “greyscaleColor” in node “Attributte from Map” and its there,
I can see it in spreadsheet as point attribute. (Picture 2 and 3)
Now on “Copy” node I ahve defined stamp value rotateY (Picture 4) and I use
that on “Transform” node of cube (Picture 5).
It does not work, I do not know how to reference that “greyscaleColor” from “Attribute from Map” in “Copy” node. It says: “Bad reference…” Any help?
How to use point attribute

You need the point expression I believe. http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini13.0/expressions/point [sidefx.com]
So something like “point(<your_node_string>, $PT, <your_attrname_string>, 0).”
So something like “point(<your_node_string>, $PT, <your_attrname_string>, 0).”

hi nimajneb,
thank you for your response. I have tried following expression in xform node:
points(“/obj/GEO/attribfrommap1”, $PT, “greyscaleColor”)*180
but it results in error:
Unable to evaluate expression (Bad data type for function or operation (/obj/GEO/xform1/ry)
When I apply that expression to “copy” node I get the same result.

hey guys hope you dont mind me hijacking this thread too!
i decided to have a go at this as well - my understanding is that the luminance value from the image should pass through to the cube copies rotating them a certain amount… so in the white area they may be (for example) 90 degrees rotation and in black 0 degrees rotation.
not sure if i'm doing this right tho or if this is what i'm trying to achieve here?
attached scene file and simple greyscale gradient texture

You are using point() expression to read attribute from grid. This way you don't have any relation with copy SOP. To get stamped attributes from copy you need to use stamp() expression function.
Since your attribute “lum” is in between 0 to 1. It's very small very to rotate so you need to fit() this to 0-90.

ahhh okay am just having a look over this now.. im a bit confused on the syntax in the fit01 command but i can see the opinputpath is obtaining the information from the node plugged into the second input of the copy1 node.. in this case attribfrommap. The rest of the stuff in there i'm a bit lost with in all honesty hehe.. altho i can see the final two values are the newmin and newmax
thanks alot that does indeed seem to work a treat
