{Node} - ATTRIBUTEtransfert

ATTRIBUTEtransfert

Experiment node to transfer attributes of type float / vector2 / vector / vector4 in a simpler way than the node provided by SideFX. And here you can see what is happening in the node. Knowing that there are fewer options and that everything is written in VEX, the act of transferring an attribute should be faster with this node.

You will be able to find several techniques to use for this purpose :

PC Filter / PC Index / PC Iterate modes are experiments which work but which are limited in their results but which can be interesting, so I left them. They served as a basis for understanding the different functions of cloud points.

Distance is used to generate a "dist" attribute between 2 nearby geometry.

Copy is the most basic "Attribute Copy", it copies attributes from point A to point B with the same ptnum.

and finally Transfer, which is the default mode of this node, so it is this mode which allows to best and simplest reproduce the Attribute Transfer provided by Houdini.

Use this node to learn or to test cases where it would be faster !
