Hi. I'm trying to assign Cd values to the points of a sop from an image file. So far, I've been using a paint sop, with the stamp bitmap option turned on, but there has to be a more efficient or at least accurate way to do this. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Try the pic() function.

Still have this uploaded.

I think VEX is the faster way.
Add a VOP SOP Definition, and in VEX you can use “Color Map” node to get color from UVs.

thanks for the suggestions and the movie link. This forum is truly outstanding.
