[Sidefx-houdini-list] HDK: [adding vertex attributes]

[Miles Green]

Hi,
   any coders out there have any tips on how to add vertex attributes to 
polygons?

I'm trying to add some vertex Uv's to my polys with no luck..

example appended HDK below

thanks
Miles




////////////  EXTENDED HDK EXAMPLE  ////////////
void addPolygon(GU_Detail * gdp)
{
    int point_idx;
    const int num_points = 3;
    GEO_PrimPoly  *prim_poly_ptr;
    GEO_Point * added_points[num_points];
    static float zero[3] = { 0, 0, 0 };
    UT_Vector3 tempVect;
    //--------VERTEX HANDLE AND ATTRIBUTE CREATION-----------
    gdp->addPointAttrib("uv", 3 * sizeof(float), GB_ATTRIB_FLOAT, zero);
    gdp->addVariableName("uv", "UV");
    uvHandle = gdp->getPointAttribute("uv");


    // Add new points to the gdp.
    for(point_idx = 0; point_idx < num_points; point_idx++)
    {
        // Append a new point
        added_points[point_idx] = gdp->appendPoint ();
        // Set its coordinates
       added_points[point_idx]->getPos().assign(somex,some.y,some.z,1.0);
    }

    // Append a new polygon primitive. Primitive types are defined in
    prim_poly_ptr = dynamic_cast<GEO_PrimPoly*>(gdp->appendPrimitive 
(GEOPRIMPOLY ));
    prim_poly_ptr->setSize (0);

    // Append vertices that form this primitive
    for(point_idx = 0; point_idx < num_points; point_idx++)
    {
        prim_poly_ptr->appendVertex (added_points[point_idx]);
	//---------FAIL TO SET VERTEX ATTRS-----------
	GEO_Point *vertP;
	vertP = prim_poly_ptr->getVertex(point_idx).getPt();
	uvHandle.setElement(vertP);
         tempVect.assign(1, 1, 1);
         uvHandle.setV3(tempVect);
    }
		

    // Close the primitive to make it a polygon instead of a polyline.
    prim_poly_ptr->close ();
}
