Carbon Simulation Geometry

Type

_images/carbon_simulation_geometry.png

Utility node.

Description

Extract and unpack the geometries of up to four different Carbon nodes from a SOP Carbon Simulation geometry stream.

Several of these nodes can be used in cascade to extract more than four nodes’ geometries by using one of the outputs as a bypass.

Warning

If any of the nodes selected in Outputs #1-4 have Carbon Node Names that are not equal to their respective graph nodes’ names, changing the node name will break the dropdown. This is usually the case when a graph node spawns multiple Carbon Objects, for example from withing a For-Loop. In those cases, the Carbon Node Names won’t be the same as the graph node, as each Carbon Object requires a unique name, and changes to the Carbon Node Names are not automatically propagated to the Simulation Geometry dropdowns.

Inputs

Input #1: Simulation Stream

A Carbon Simulation geometry stream composed of several packed primitives as created by the Carbon SOP nodes such as the Carbon Cloth SOP node, or a merge of these nodes.

Outputs

Output #1-4:

Depending on the selection, either the input geometry stream or the unpacked geometry of the selected Carbon node.

Parameters

Output #1 output1

The simulation geometry to output as first output, or the input geometry stream if Bypass is selected.

Output #2 output3

The simulation geometry to output as second output, or the input geometry stream if Bypass is selected.

Output #3 output3

The simulation geometry to output as third output, or the input geometry stream if Bypass is selected.

Output #4 output4

The simulation geometry to output as fourth output, or the input geometry stream if Bypass is selected.
