I’ve mounted a 2D LIDAR on its side, and I’ve walked down a hallway to capture a CSV file of distances. The data is 1233 columns in per revolution and then a line break. I’ve imported this using the File In DAT and converted to CHOP. From there I create a Circle SOP with the number of vertices to match the CSV columns. Convert the SOP to CHOP and multiply the X/Y/Z to map the distance of the vertices from the centre of the circle.
This works on a single channel, but I want to create a tunnel that I can send a camera through. I’ve tried instancing on a Line SOP and a Tube SOP but I’m not sure I understand how to index the 683 channels through individual Circle SOPs down the line.
I’m wondering if someone has a suggestion for me to accomplish this effect. Thanks in advance!
