instance geometry to particles

Beginners

Hello,

Following this thread :

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2872

"You can also instance geometry to particles. Make one object the particle system, and another the geometry to instance. Then select the geometry object in the particle system object’s Shading page under Particle Geo. This is by far the most efficient way of animating many copies of geometry with a particle system. "

I have checked the particle SOP wiki.

geometry object in the particle system object’s Shading page under Particle Geo ??? what is it and where is it ?

Thanks,

xavier

The quote is from old documentation that isn’t correct anymore. To instance geometry from particles you need to get the point positions into CHOPs using SOP to CHOP, then use those to drive the instance positions.
