Thanks, Matt -- this is very helpful info. The brilliant kid developer we
have working on this (a few years out of Stanford CS) went ahead and just
built it in several hours night before last. It seems to work really well
on splines; he's working on generalizing to surfaces next. Performance is
I am not suggesting you copy it... read the comments and treat it as a
guide as how to make your own. Jerome left really detailed comments!

oh, if we are going that route I would look up the FabricEngine
implementation as a guide/hint since it was written by the same person who
maintained much of the Softimage implementation.

Just for ideas, maybe you could check out blender source code for the
implementation of their closest_point_on_mesh function?
Possibly in here somewhere:
'Get closest Locations' is patent protected, so you won't be able to do
anything commercial from the algorithm as implemented (but you may be able
to find it's description at the patent office).
I spoke with the author of that tool at great length a few years ago as I
had questions about
touchdesigner. Should have mentioned we need it run on the GPU.

I don't know the exact implementation but generally speaking they are
spatial queries backed by some sort of an acceleration structure with some
barycentric coordinates to get a polygon position/location. Assuming your
mesh data structure has attributes to interpolate you can do that with the
9 matches
