mapping a line to a circle

Beginners

playing around with SOPs and data

how would people go about mapping a line of data - using a ‘CHOP to SOP’ with a line as input - how could i then map this to a circle - have been playing with twists and merging chop data from a circle which gives me some thing like this:

i’d like to do a fully circular map - have tried creep

feels like i’m missing a technique

thanks

Hi Benflock,

Take a polygon circle with the divisions set to same number of data points you need, then wire a SOPtoDAT extracting the P Attributes, you can then just merge the P attributes to your other data.

I’m sure there a few way to do that, but might get you in the right direction.

thanks StateOfLux

i’d tried something similar with CHOPS but the result here is nicer

i’m ultimately trying to get the moving data to push outwards of the circle but its frying my head a bit - this is a great start

so many ways to do one thing!

if you multiply the P vector by an input value it will move outwards from the circle.

thanks StateOfLux
