Re: this_model not working with some functions

[Eric Thivierge]

Problems like the references to the objects breaking and corruption of the
expressions not evaluating. In some cases the expression was set to one
object but was actually driven by something else.

  Hi All,
 After managing to get a frozen poly mesh from hundreds of ICE
 cubes, what I need to do now is perform something like a boolean union 
 on
 them all (though they are a single merged polygon), a bit like 
 polygonizer
 but without the round corners. Any tools out there that could do that?

it has been available for the brave few that can compile from source for

Nice one Steve.  I was hoping that would somehow make it's way into Soft.

 hey chris

 i am interested in seeing if this works for you... i compiled my
 openvdb plugin and attached it to the email.

 if you have arnold installed, you should disable it while using this
 plugin... they don't peacefully coexist at this time.

 there are some custom ice nodes, the ones you want are the mesh
 conversion nodes. here are some steps...

 -create an empty polygon mesh
 -get the merged cubes mesh
 -get the mesh to volume node and a volume to mesh node
 -wire them up like so... get data>mesh to volume>volume to mesh>create
 topo>set topo

 at this time the conversion to volume has an inside and outside width.
 openvdb has the ability to 'fill in the inside' i just haven't implemented
 it. so keep an eye out for that, you might need to do some clean up after
 you are done

Re: How to Refresh a combo list in a Custom Primitive PPG

Oh yeah, I didn't see the custom primitive part, sorry.

For regular custom properties, you can do it in an OnInit or even an
OnClicked, at least in scripting.

Re: skin lots of cubes

[Ed Manning]

one thing that has sometimes helped for me is using multiple shrinkwraps
with smooths and pushes in between.  you can sort of do the wrap in stages
that way, and get even fairly deep reveals wrapped.

This works in 2014 SP2

as does this

ctr_dist( this_model.cube.posx, this_model.cube2.posx )

Re: How to Refresh a combo list in a Custom Primitive PPG

[Guillaume Laforge]

Thanks for the help Stephen, but it doesn't work even using wide character
(and even without using the L prefix, I guess it would be cast to wide by
the CString constructor).

I think the problem is that the Refresh is working for the PPG layout but
not to update the internal combo list array. Using a custom property, I
could probably do it in the init callback (thanks to Eric Thivierge for the
idea), but custom primitives (that are a nice 2014 feature btw) don't
provide such callback.

@Matt Sorry I oversimplified for the sake of the example,

RE: this_model not working with some functions

[Matt Lind]

You need to append the parameter name at the end.

Eg;

ctr_dist( this_model.PointA.posx, this_model.PointB.posx )

Hi,


I am assigning expressions to some parameters and I noticed this strange

ctr_dist( john.pointA, john.pointB ) does work

Any 'this_model' reference outside of the distance function works as expected.
Is there any reason ?

That should work. That's how they do it in the
PSetUIDemo\cppsrc\PSetUIDemoCPP.cpp

//Redraw the PPG to show the new combo items
ctx.PutAttribute(L"Refresh",true);

Maybe you need the L prefix?

I had tons of problems with this_model in expressions last year and thus stayed

Ref models and multi-imported instances of the model. In my experience at least.

How to Refresh a combo list in a Custom Primitive PPG

[Guillaume Laforge]

Hi,

I've got a custom primitive with a "drop down list enumerator" defined in
its DefineLayout callback.
I need to rebuild the "UI Items array" before inspecting the custom
primitive as it is dynamic.
The only working way for now is by right clicking the PPG name and pick
"Refresh".

I added a button using this logic (in the PPGEvent) but it does nothing:

  if ( buttonPressed.GetAsText() == "Refresh" )
  {
in_ctxt.PutAttribute("Refresh", true);
  }

Is there a way to get the same behavior than the "Right click and Refresh"
using the C++ SDK ?

Thanks,

Guillaume Laforge

Re: skin lots of cubes

like 3dcoat, you might be able to use openVDB. essentially voxelize the
mesh and convert that volume back into a mesh.

RE: skin lots of cubes

[Matt Lind]

Couldn't you separate by polygon island, Boolean, then re-merge?

That much could be scripted without too much trouble as you could do a distance 
search between cubes to know which cubes should be Booleaned with each other.  
You could script it to Boolean while merged, but that would require a little 
more work in the form of the algorithm.

Meshlabs seems to have lots of tools, whether any of them will do this I
don't know.
Cheers

Retopo in 3DCoat?  I believe the most recent beta release has major
improvements in hard edges:

I want to say emTopolizer could do what you want, but I'm not entirely
sure:  http://www.mootzoid.com/plugin/emtopolizer2

Betreff: skin lots of cubes


Hi All,
After managing to get a frozen poly mesh from hundreds of ICE cubes, what I need to do now is perform something like a boolean union on them all (though they are a single merged polygon), a bit like polygonizer but without the round corners. Any tools out there that could do that?

 

Thanks

Chris

skin lots of cubes

[Chris Marshall]

Hi All,
After managing to get a frozen poly mesh from hundreds of ICE cubes, what I
need to do now is perform something like a boolean union on them all
(though they are a single merged polygon), a bit like polygonizer but
without the round corners. Any tools out there that could do that?

Thanks
Chris

In the first video, Softimage is the main subject of the presentation with
CrowdFX.

I don't know exactly why Graham, but I really prefer the first video :).
