Boolean cut geometry not applying material on a surface Feb. 23, 2025, 3:47 a.m.

Thanks very much CYTE! That makes sense.

Boolean cut geometry not applying material on a surface Feb. 20, 2025, 12:36 a.m.

Hi everybody. I have a boolean subtracting from some geometry, and I'm noticing that the material is not applied to these surfaces that appear to have been created by the cut. Help would be much appreciated. The geometry network you see is inside a SOP Create.

Controlling Groom with Vertex Color Jan. 10, 2025, 1:09 p.m.

Hey everybody. I'm trying to change the direction of my fur with the Cd attribute on my source geo. I am working off the default hair groom setup you get from the shelf tools to add fur. Inside my groom SOP:
1. Skin's Cd is promoted from Vertex to Point
2. Skin's attribute wrangle has the following:
v@furdirection[0] = @Cd.x;
v@furdirection[1] = @Cd.y;

But altering the furdirection property seems to have no effect on the guides' directions. Assigning furdirection to the Cd attribute may not be the final function that I use to have Cd affect the guides, but I'm still at the early stage here trying to get it to do anything at all. Could somebody point me in the right direction?

Regards,
Sam
