Error about geo Texture Index

Continuing the discussion from about image stacking movie file in failed to open file:

Hi! Everyone,I’m a beginner and right now i’m learning instancing multiple images from Scott Allen Visual Art.
But there’s always an error when i put index in Texture Index like so


Can anyone help? Thank you very much!

Hi @furifuriyoko,

the error is indicating that the source operators you are using in your instancing setup do not all contain the same number of values.

As you can use TOPs, SOPs, CHOPs, or DATs for instancing you have to watch out that all of them are of equal length where “length” can refer to:

  • the number of pixels in a TOP
  • the number of points in a SOP
  • the number of samples in a CHOP
  • the number of Rows in a DAT

Your CHOP called “INDEX” for example has 11 samples so all other operators should match that length.

Hope this helps
cheers
