Hi,

I'm trying to get my bend SOP to only be affected on points with red in the color channel, but I'm failing badly.

Any attribute I create is ignored by the bend SOP.

Any idea why?

Inside the bend sop there is a deformation wrangle, and by looking at the code inside it seems “lambda” is the main factor for deformation. So if you replace lambda by say…@Cd.r (provided you have red colour on your geo) it should work, hopefully this is what you are looking for

Thank you Yash! That worked perfectly.

I think this should be part of the default toolset and will make it easy for new Houdini users as well.

Thanks
again.

My Bend SOP/VOP also does this automatically given a scalar weight attribute:

You have to do it internally inside the deformer as this is controlling the angle, so you can't just use lerp (linear interpolation) between 2 geometry nodes, which is why all Houdini deformers should have a weight attribute that can control the amount of the entire deformation.
