Is it possible to create a SOP with inputs like Dop/gravity?
The idea is to separate the input geometry as one surface (which will be displaced inside the Sop) and
several other geometries which are used to calculate the displacement.

Thanks.

I have nt seen how looks the DOP gravity. But if I understood your question,
you want to connect different geo to your SOP. Let say A and B

You have to add the number of inputs you want, when you declare your OP
void
newSopOperator(OP_OperatorTable *table)
{
table->addOperator(new OP_Operator(“sparticle”,
“Simple Particle”,
SOP_SParticle::myConstructor,
SOP_SParticle::myTemplateList,
1, // Min required sources
2, // Maximum sources
0));
}

then you loop through and you collect the GDP of each input


src = ( GU_Detail *)inputGeo(current_obj, context ))

If it answers your question I go into details.

Thanks for the reply.

What I was looking for is a way to create a Sop with two input-boxes, one that takes one single input and another that takes an arbitrary number of other inputs.

The idea is to have a grid as the single input (which will be displaced in the Sop), and use the other inputs to calculate the actual displacements. I sent an email to support and found out that this is apparently not possible. It's only possible to do it the way Gerome described.

I guess instead I'll have to label the inputs somehow to know which one is the grid and which others are standard geometry. Any ideas on how to do this in a smart way?
