Referencing Scatter Points in Copy Node April 27, 2015, 2:24 p.m.
Hi! I'm still really new to Houdini and so I was wondering… Is there a way to reference points from a scatter node in the copy node's stamp value input using Python?
I'm trying to create a simple crowd simulator that takes in multiple alembic files into a switch node and distributes them over a grid that has been scattered with the copy node. Using the stamp's variable id I was able to change the alembic file on different points. However the problem was that every frame the alembic file being passed in would change.
I was thinking if I could reference the points from within the value input, we could iterate through an array (stored in an HDA Module) and return a specific point's switch value.
