group sop: group points box by volume does not work Sept. 18, 2013, 2:13 p.m.

Hello,

I have a box SOP with Primitive Type = points, which plugs into input 1 of group SOP, and a poly sphere which plugs into input 2. The group SOP has bounding enabled and Bounding Type = Bounding Object (points only), but it fails to put any of the bounded points in the specified group (it creates an empty group). When I put other geo types in input 1 - eg. a poly sphere - it works. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,

Jeremy.

Do rendered nurbs curves have t-coordinates? June 12, 2012, 6:30 p.m.

Brilliant, thank you!

Do rendered nurbs curves have t-coordinates? June 12, 2012, 5:35 p.m.

Hello,

When you render nurbs curves in mantra, they have a s parametric coordinate, 0-1, going from the start to the end of the curve. However, the value of the t coordinate seems to always be 0. I believe in RenderMan, curves have a t-coordinate going from 0-1 across the width, handy for faking normals, among other things. Does such a thing exist in mantra?

Thanks,

Jeremy.
