I started translating some of the ICE compounds in VOPs, and by 'start', I made 3... But I plan to keep adding more. So far I have "get closest location", "turbulize value by range", and "linear interperlate". For the stuff that's basically maths you can go into the compounds and copy it one for one. However I find the whole digital asset system a massive overkill considering how simple the compound workflow is in Soft.

My guess is that maybe we can improve VOP a lot ourselves by bringing some ICE in it. There are a lot of ICE logic and Ice compound that could be translated. Of course, it would be a benefit for side SideFX to hire a hardcore ICE guy. 2017-03-28 16:56 GMT+02:00 Andy Goehler <lists.andy.goeh...@gmail.com<mailto:lists.andy.goeh...@gmail.com>>: Very well put about the ICE ‘macros’. Not to forget to mention that until such ‘factory’ nodes are provided, there’s always the option to do it yourself and save it as an asset (HDA).

VEX and VOP functions in Houdini by comparison are often far more granular. That means that functionality provided by a single node in XSI often requires multiple nodes/functions in Houdini. I’m hoping that VOPs is further developed to include a library of ‘Compound’ like macros. If there’s any area’s where former XSI artists could help the SideFX developers improve Houdini, this seems like a winner to me. ------ Softimage Mailing List.
