I haven't been create digital asset for a while.
Going through some tutorials to refresh my mind
the chain tool
Drop down a torus to begin
press 2 to enter point selection mode
Go to top view, select the point on the right side
press M to change to pivot
create a chain like shape, it automatically create the edit node for you
to center the Geometry, add a match size node
create a draw a curve node, allow you to draw the curve on the plane
select the handle too
draw the curve
Next, we want to populate chain on the curve use copy to curve node
Go to scales and shears to scale down the geo
Because the point is not evenly space out
That's create a resample node
adjust the length to make it less density
Go back to copy to curve node
under additional rotation
adjust the yaw to 90 degree
check apply roll or twist
set full twist to 7
now we have chain
Now its time to pack/convert it into a HDA
first select everything in the tool but exclude the drawcurve node since it is our main user input.
Give it a name and hit accept
the edit operator type properties window will appear
This is where you can add your parameter for your tool here
if you close the window, just select your chain tool, go to assets tab> edit asset property> select the tool name
the easiest way to add parameters is just to drop the parameter in
Here, we take the scale of the copy to curve node, length of the resample node
when done just press apply
All set
