The autodop network is where the simulation happen. Once it is simulated, in Houdini, you can call the result of a simulation and do whatever you want with it. Render it, re use it in SOP and re distort it, etc..
Precisely in the fireworks example, the "fireworks_particles" node contains a DOP IO nodes, which looks into /obj/AutoDopNetwork and grab /obj/AutoDopNetwork/popobject1 (your simulated particle object container) On Tue, Oct 11, 2016 at 1:25 PM, Cristobal Infante <[email protected]> wrote: > The only similarity you will find with ICE is the vector context called > VOPSOP. > > Inside POPs (particles) you can also use them, they are called POPVOPs. > > But the general framework is different.
