【Houdini】Copy to Points时Orient无效，原因是参数存在优先级

问题阐述

在复制模型到点集时，想控制模型的旋转值，但通过Attribute Randomize为点随机添加了orient值后，并没有效果。

用Grid当作点集测试却有效果，在大头的帮助下才知道在Copy to Points时，参数具有优先级，所以会出现一些参数无效的效果，这里就是由于本来存在transform，优先级高于orient。

复制参数优先级

http://127.0.0.1:48626/copy/instanceattrs.html

• If pivot exists, use it as the local transformation of the copy/instance.

• If the transform attribute exists:

  • Use it as a 3×3 or 4×4 matrix to transform the copy/instance.

• If the transform attribute does not exist:

  • If the orient attribute exists:

    • Use it to orient the copy/instance.

  • If the orient attributes does not exist:

    • Orient the copy/instance using N as the +Z axis and up as +Y axis.

    • If N does not exist, use v (velocity) if it exists.

  • If the rot attribute exists, apply it after the above.

  • If pscale exists, use it to scale the to scale the copy/instance (multiplied by scale if it exists).

  • If scale exists, use it to scale the copy/instance (multiplied by pscale if it exists).

• If trans exists, use it and P to move the copy/instance.

Or, put another way:

Key: 
X = pivot matrix (translate by -pivot)
O = orient matrix 
S = scale matrix (scale * pscale) 
L = alignment matrix (*) 
R = rot matrix 
T = trans matrix (trans + P) 
M = transform matrix

(*) The alignment matrix (L) is defined by N or v and up. 

IF N exists AND up exists and isn't {0,0,0}: 
   L = mlookatup(N,0,up) 
ELSE IF N exists: 
   L = dihedral({0,0,1},N) 
ELSE IF v exists AND up exists and isn't {0,0,0}: 
   L = mlookatup(v,0,up) 
ELSE IF v exists: 
   L = dihedral({0,0,1},v) 

IF transform exists:
   Transform = X*M*T
ELSE IF orient exists: 
   Transform = X*S*(O*R)*T
ELSE: 
   Transform = X*S*L*R*T
