Houdini 13.0 Nodes

interface version 1

Connects nearby points with polylines.

Parameters

Search Max Radius

Maximum radius for nearby-point lookup.

Max Connections

The maximum number of possible connections that can originate from a point.

Note

If the same point(s) are included both in source and target group(s), use at least 2 for Max Connections (as the self-connection check will consume the first one – even though these “self-connections” are not created).

Source Pt Group

Only points within this group will be used as starting points for connections.

Target Pt Group

Only points within this group will be used as endpoints for connections.

Tip

Both group parameters are regular group fields – accepting single or multiple groups, wildcards, or point indices. Examples:

  • [0-99]” – the first 100 points

  • pts1 pts2” – two groups

  • * ^pts3” – all points except the ones in the pts3 group

Warning

Due to the nature of the operation, it can get quite slow when working with a large number of points. In such cases, take extra care to keep the radius and connections settings as low as possible.
