How to get point indexes and create groups of points

[marcelvmd]

Hi everyone,

How to get point indexes of an object? How to display these numbers in viewport like in Houdini?

I want to create a group of points and then connect them to another group as strands, is that possible?

Thank you 🙂

Numeric display is unfortunately quite buggy at the moment, but I was able to make the following compound that displays the point indices. Note, currently, due to a bug, the indices will only be shown if you deselect the bifrostGraph1 shape in the Maya outliner so beware of that.
