Thank you so much for making this!
It was very much FUN to watch and above all very helpfull to me.
If you are going to make more of the: I'm all inn.

Kind regards, Robert Glotzbach

PS: Don't have it working… How did you set up the “foreach vop”?

Thanks, make sure your Foreach vop has the group mask : clone_*

You can attach the file here. I can watch it if you want. Cheers!

Thanks a lot for your offer, I have it solved.
The attribute vop kept giving an error about not recognizing the Cd attribute, but after a restart of houdini it works all perfectly, a bug I guess.

Hi ,this technique is great and it's behave like Clone in C4D , but if you like to know about some better techniques , I suggest you to check these methods too :

1. for iterating over all boxes , you don't need to use Connectivity SOP , because the Copy SOP can put each Box in unique group by turnning on Create Output Groups parameter , Just use this expression in the Output Group :

Box$PT

then in the ForEach SOP use Box* for mask.

2. Although Foreach SOP is a good tool for doing your goal , But it's so slow for more complex projects !

the faster methods are using Stamp function in the Copy SOP or using points attribute before Copy SOP.

Point's Attributes method is faster than Stamp method , for using this method you can add some attributes for rotation such as orient or even using up and n vectors , I'll make a simple project about these methods for you and check it , I think Point's Attribute method is about 20 times faster than ForEach SOP method !!! :idea:

Just check this project :wink:

Thanks for sharing the awesomeness! I was trying the stamp one first, it worked but didn't get any way to create another secondary effector like c4d does. Is it possible to do two or more effectors working individually? :?:

Very nice tutorial to learn Creating C4d Like CLoner and Effector in Houdini…Thanks for sharing them.

To learn more about Houdini and many others softwares, you can look here to find more sites to learn it (like Lynda, Digital-Tutors), you can also learn a lots of others incredible softwares on the sites listed here : VFX Hive | Learning [vfxhive.com]
