Hi everybody,
I'm messing around with deep data to see if I can produce a point cloud
of an object where it intersects the ground plane.
In my test setup, I offset the ground plane a little bit to be closer to
camera, then hold out the cylinder with it (leaving only the bits above
the offset ground). I then hold out the original cylinder with the
previous result to only get the bits underneath the offset ground.
Lastly I hold out the result with a second version of the ground plane
which is offset in the opposite direction, effectively sandwiching the
cylinder in a user defined thickness of the ground.
The problem I'm currently seeing is that the last hold out still lets
deep samples of the cylinder through even though it should be fully
covered by the ground. I have sent a support mail for this (not sure if
it's me or Nuke).
Aaaaanyway, I'm wondering if people have done something similar and
found a more elegant solution for this?
I'd also be happy to get an intersection map for the ground plane.
The general idea is to spawn particles from where one object intersects
another, be it from a point cloud or a textured ground.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
frank
