hey, you have used append function twice in a row. To my understanding this particular array contains 2 elements in list. Could you please share a little more light, how appending works in houdini? thanks
Hey! Sure thing! Appending simply adds an entry to the end of an array. So if I start out with an empty array and use the append function two times, I now have an array with two entries.
In this particular setup I’m using those two append functions to create an array of weights. One for each bone. Since I’m using two bones in my rig, I need an array with two weight entries.
And since I’m running this inside a point wrangle, every point on the mesh I want to deform gets it’s own array of two weights, which I need for the weighted average in the end.
