Removing donut shape in geometry

[maria85]

Hi, I am having a problem connecting my image in attribute create to geometry which seems always to be that donut shape, if anyone could advise I’d be grateful, thanks.

The torus surface op is inside Geometry component by default, and to replace the donut/torus shape you should single click and drag a connection wire from your attribute create operator and then press tab to open the operator menu and then select the Geo-comp.

Thanks for taking time to reply. But I did that and the geo box can’t connect with thread to attribute create box because there aren’t any bars to connect to. I think that’s why I can’t change tours shape to my desired image.

see both posts below which explain the exact steps of two different methods of linking SOP output to a Geo COMP

How to link SOP to COMP

If you open Help-> Operator Snippets, and go to the first example of the Geometry COMP (called “geometry basics”) , you’ll see an example. Read description bottom left how you can make a SOP show up in the Geo COMPs viewer and how you can make it render. A fast way to link a SOP to a COMP is to middle click output of a SOP, which will open the OP Create Dialog. Select a COMP and you’ll see it will automatically place that COMP, add SOP In and SOP Out nodes inside it, and wire your SOP to the ne…

Problem with geometry

Not sure if I understand your question correctly, but if you have placed a Geometry COMP, you can go inside of it (zoom into it), delete the default Torus SOP, and place an In SOP. I usually place a Null SOP after the In SOP, and enable its render flag (purple dot) and display flag (blue dot). Now if you zoom out you have a new input on the COMP to which you can connect other SOPs. Does this answer your question?
