Hi

Before I look to try and make my own implementation, I was wondering if there is a node i may have missed which would do the same thing.

I'm wanting to align geometry based on point position from input 1 and 2 without any scaling, or scaling being optional.
I would specify a point number from Input1 and another from Input 2 to essentially create a pair and i would match several pairs in a multiparm of some sort.
By specifying pairs, the geometry from Input 1 can then be moved into position based on the point pairing.
Similar technique to aligning the scene in matchmove where you pair the 2D tracked point, from your footage, to a location on the mesh.

Thanks

I'm trying to switch my orientation in Houdini from Y to Z up and have managed to do so in the preferences. But is there an option to switch the UI as well? By default a vector is XYZ and displayed in that order in the UI. Is it possible to switch this to XZY?
Mainly because i have hdas and hip files which used the middle UI element for up, at the time being Y, which now breaks because the axis has changed.

Thanks

Hey

TLDR: hip file showing how to reference USD files when exporting a USD file.

Just wanted to leave a hip file here that I received from support as others may find this useful.

I was trying to figure out how to reference a USD file in an another USD file in sops as all my tests resulted in errors or embedding the geometry into a new USD file.

you can take the network within the sop create node directly to Sops and it still works if you throw a USD export at the bottom. So you don't need to be in Lops at all.
