Hey there!

Today, we’ll be shortly coming back to the most useful operators:
Point SOP and Copy SOP.
We show 2 examples:
1. How to sample the TOP Texture and apply the color values as a Geometry Attribute for Width at the Line MAT and for the deformation
2. How to use the copying by cumulative Transformations and templeate points achieve the fractal effect

We continue to post the free lessons uncovering the most mystic and underrated TouchDesigner Operator Family: SOPs aka Surface Operators in a structured way, separately speaking about: Generators, Deformers, Modelling operators, Workflow Utilities etc.

Just a friendly reminder that TouchDesigner was built on the 3D engine, so understanding the usage of SOPs is super important if you want to reach pro level. Keep up the good work!
