Scattered point positions to the nulls (obj level) 2025年1月27日13:59

toadstorm
Here's a quick and painless Python script you can run as a shelf tool. Includes orientations (orient attribute only) as well as positions from points.


That's a really useful script... I need to do the same but would like the nulls to end up with the plotted animations of the points.

I'm actually trying to convert a simple RBD sim to plotted null animations with the RBD chunks parented/constrained etc. to the nulls and my Houdini scripting isn't up to scratch yet.

Any more suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Adam.

Convert RBD sim to animated Null transforms 2025年1月27日13:50

Hi,

Was hoping to make it a little manual as I'd like to iterate and also a bit of a quick turnaround.

Toadstorm seemed to have made a nice script for the first step.. i.e. making the nulls.

Just need them animated and the chunks parenting now!

Convert RBD sim to animated Null transforms 2025年1月26日15:36

Hi,

Wondered if there's a way to take a RBD sim and convert it to nulls with animated transforms with the RBD objects parented to them?

e.g.
I have 20 RBD rocks that are simulated.

At the obj level, or more tidily in a Subnet, I would like the RBD sim converted into 20 animated nulls with the appropriate (unsimulated) rock parented each one of them.

Have been crawling around on Google but not managing to get the right keywords for an answer.

I assume it would need a script as it would need to create to create new nulls/parent items etc.

There were a couple of ways to do this in Softimage but I'm in Houdini-land now.

Any help gratefully received.
Hoping for a cheeky script tucked away somewhere.

Cheers,

Adam.
