useful sops from houdini

how hard would it be to get these in touch?

Scatter Sop
Attribute Transfer SOP

Yes
Attribute transfer will be nice :

Promote Attribute from vertex to primitive too.

Would be great to get this.

In the operator snippet for the ScriptSop you have a scatter example.
It puts a number of random points on each primitives and outputs those point (whitout geometry) if that what you’re looking for.

Before I realized there was a script sop example of scatter, I put together a tox for it here:

I also had a try at making a basic version of the Attribute Wrangler. You can check that out here:

I’d recommend opening the toe file for the wrangle, as it’s a bit complex how it works

While it’s great that we can extend TouchDesigner’s functionality with custom SOPs via python and now C++, The average person using TouchDesigner is not likely to use or create many, if any custom operators.

So let’s stay focused on the goals of this RFE: Identifying the most useful / most wanted SOP functionality that is “missing” from TouchDesigner so it can be added officially.
