Getting geometry attributes in COP networks in Houdini

[@karimoh3154]

@P = @uv; is just genius. coming from classic 3d workflows this is mind bending. houdini is such a great tool! love it

[@Maxmax10050]

I was looking for this for ages, thank you much!

Insane! Thank u a lot!

[@travislrogers]

Great technique, thanks for sharing this!

[@gulagwarlord]

This is amazing, just what I've been looking for.

[@dj_multiple_one]

Very good and rare tutorial!

[@SantiagoAPiano]

this is pure gold, thanks a lot, you won an active sub :)

[@lotuseaters]

thanks so much for explaining this!

[@SveGalabov]

Thank you, thats great! Do you know how can we achieve that when having an object with UDIM :)?

[@bombomb_001]

REALLY HELPFUL!

[@wouttengrootenhuysen5137]

Thank you !!

[@pawpotsRS]

what if you have multiple material ID?

[@workflowinmind]

Why do you flatten the geo in UV Space ? Why not pipe uv in XYZDist?

[@Ramt33n]

because he wanted to sample primitives that are closest to the pixels which are in UV space already!

!!! THANK U !!!

[@nicolaastanghe475]

annyone know how you can use something like @Y on a normal node like dilateerode ?

[@StephaneSOUBIRAN]

thank you

[@franckviennois]

Hi, I can't find the point split node, is there something I missed ?

[@zdspider6778]

Because you need to be inside a Geometry node. It's not available in a COP2 network. Compositing deals with pixels not points. Points are a Geometry thing.

Does anyone know how to get the result from a copnet into unreal engine 4? I created a digital asset with the setup from this video, imported it to UE4, geometry looks ok, but the texture (the output from copnet) is not created. I know how to manually export the copnet result from houdini, but I would like the hda to do that. Is it possible?

[@Titirez5]

@@RenderEverything Yes. I found this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2XYfaxnhZiLask but it's not exactly what I want. This just outputs the vertex color data to a texture. I need the copnet data.

@@Titirez5 use the SideFX Labs Map Baker, it writes out attributes directly to UV space textures.
