The copy SOP is your friend. Feed a box into the first input, and some other geometry (a torus, a particle system) into the second input.

For example, on the right hand side, try a grid SOP fed into a mountain SOP. Then, animate the noise of the mountain SOP, copying boxes to all the points on the grid.

Still, I don't know if that will get you 25% of the way there :-)

Hi!!

I´will post the hip file to help you to understand better whats going on in there.

I´m very happy to know that you like the animation of the naga logo, because the commentary that someone put in the comments tab was not very constructive, that type of comments didn´t help to anyone to get a better level in this industry.

Thanks.

Yeah, being complimented publicly really makes for a useless critique.

I have been working only in Max and Maya for past 10 years. So my knowledge of houdini counts for none… for Now. But IMHO its an excellent execution of a particular idea or concept.

Bottom line… your work is very good. keep it up coz sky has no end.

BTW i was also making something using copySOP. i have attached the file. Kindly have a look at it. Its very basic just lots of boxes copied on the grid. But from here on i dont know where to go.. But i am reading the help card of CopySOP. Its just raw power…

regards

Thanks Mark..

for such an excellent pointer towards Copy SOP. truly copy SOP is just like GodSend.

Still, I don't know if that will get you 25% of the way there

dont worry i'll catch up. just keep replying me with such pointers.

my question may sound a little stupid. coz its very basic. But a question is a question.

BTW i am reading the help card of CopySOP. amazing power… if i get stuck somewhere. i'll disturb you guys again.

thanks again….in advance
