Hi,

Guide curve can be created in Sop by setting only display flag.
I want to create the same guide curve in the lop network just like the Camera/Light icon.
How to do it?

Thanks!

Are you meaning guide curve for hair or curve for following path?

If you meant to create curve for following then there is node called Follow path constraint. It's requiring a curve imported from SOP context and any object.

Thanks for the repliy!

I want to create an ICON with curves like the Null Sop. They are not in the final renderer but display in the viewer.

You can use SOPCreate node with Control node inside, unpack the geo ether in sop or in SOP import settings (Primitive Definition - Packed primitive - Unpack) and then hide it from render by setting Purpose = Proxy/Guide token through Configure Primitive LOP.

Hi Faitel,

The proxy geo is still being rendered if switching to karma.
I want it like the light icon that keeps as OGL wireframe even in karma delegate.

It seems those ogl wireframe guides are pre-built by devs for different primitive types under the hood of solaris.

Regarding visibility you need to enable/disable guides in display settings
