Hi

I come from a Maya background, using Houdini and trying to find a way to get overlapping Verts/points in houdini. They technically share the same worldspace position.

Its essentially unwelding geometry from Marvelous Designer.

I found the fuse node but that obviously merges the points. I want to be able to store it or keep it as lists and use that data later.

Like points sharing the same world position would look something like this.



(if 4 meshes where overlapping at that point.)

I am mainly using SOP net

Thanks
Imran

In H17.5 you have FuseSOP v2. Turn off “Fuse snapped points” and activate “Snapped points group” option. This will create a group with snapped points. Then you can use a GroupCopy SOP to transfer the newly created group back to the original mesh - before fuse/snapping.
