Hi,

Could create Nurbs primitives in vex?

Thanks!

Hi,

There is no way to do this per addprim VEX function:
https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/vex/functions/addprim.html [www.sidefx.com]

It doesn't support NURBS primitives. I have an RFE about this #124932

Could create Nurbs primitives in vex?

Like animatrix said, that you can't actually as an end result create a nurbs curve through vex.

However, you can create a spline/nurbs curve with vex, and within/from vex define what that spline/nurb shape should be - virtually.

It's just that once you go to creating the curve as geometry you have to 'convert' it to a polyline/polygon.

This is akin to creating a curve with a curve node then taking the next step of putting it through a resample node.

You can do the same with vex, just minus of having the visualization (created geometry in viewport) of what you get from a curve node.

In this file the first node creates and works in spline space. The second takes information and creates the polyline.
Again, in this set up you can work in the spline space and not have to work in polyline/polygon space to change it's shape.

Edit: Of course you could add a convert(to Nurbs) node after in my example file.

Thanks! I'll look and test it.
