Stamp Points in COPs | Intro to COPs | Houdini 20.5

[@remedyrenders5746]

Great and well spoken tutorials my dud! would love some more COPs coverage and new features form 20.5

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

Thank you for the kind words! I've covered quite a bit of what's new in 20.5. I'm really enjoying COPs so I've been focusing on that and plan to continue to cover information on it.

Cool, handy for all sorts of random objects. Could you elaborate on how to make it tileable?

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

If you're scattering points on a grid we covered that earlier on in this series. I believe that was in the Bringing SOPs into COPs video. If you are doing it on a uv'd mesh that's a little bit more complex and doesn't have a one size fits all solution if you are wanting to stay in COPs.

@@InsideTheMindSpace ah yeah. But thats when you use real geo as texture input. So 2D cop nodes as a source for seamless textures isnt as easy as substance designer?

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

No you can still do it. Just in this case because we are using points scattered onto the geometry as a source for our copying all inside cops it's not necessarily the easiest thing to approach. You can get seamless textures relatively easy with noises and other things which I will be covering. Just because of how this method works it will not necessarily be the easiest thing to accomplish

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

Its difficult to explain in text format. Maybe I'll explain in a separate video why it doesn't work and how to approach getting seamless copys

[@g8610g]

@@InsideTheMindSpace ah phew. Was almost worried making seamless textures in general was cumbersome. Looking forward to the next one. 😁

[@FatalFunnel]

so stamp is back, I'm falling farther and farther behind with Houdini!

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

Kind of. Not exactly the copy stamp we had before. Theres a lot to Houdini. No one will be able to keep up with everything
