Well I'm sure Fabric will grow up into a lovely DCC and snap maya's neck :3 On 9 August 2016 at 21:26, Olivier Jeannel wrote: > Would love some clearer info though. I don't know what's a derivative for > a vector and how to compute some. There must be tons of

Impressive Google-fu skills ;) On 09/08/2016 15:48, Ahmidou Lyazidi wrote: Hi Andy, I knew that Jérôme worked on the closest location and Ray cast system (as he did in Fabric Engine) , I just search for his name in the Google patent search. Le 9 août 2016 10:38 AM, "Andy Nicholas"

Re: Reminiscing

Interesting! (although, personally I can't stand things like this get patented) Ahmidou, how did you find that or become aware that that even existed in the patent database? On 09/08/2016 15:15, Ahmidou Lyazidi wrote: A bit more than that, here's the patent:

Yes exactly, but it's patented by AD, so you'll need to roll you own Le 9 août 2016 9:12 AM, "Olivier Jeannel" a écrit : > Makes sense ! That's what the "smoothed surface" button compensate for in > XSI ? > > On Tue, Aug 9, 2016 at 1:51 PM, Andy Nicholas

Re: Reminiscing

Makes sense ! That's what the "smoothed surface" button compensate for in XSI ? On Tue, Aug 9, 2016 at 1:51 PM, Andy Nicholas wrote: > Hmm, I think that's to be expected. The edges and points are generally > closer to the grid than the faces. Think of it as you've started

Re: Reminiscing

Hmm, I think that's to be expected. The edges and points are generally closer to the grid than the faces. Think of it as you've started with a perfect sphere made of wood, and you just sanded it down to get those flat triangles. The edges and points represent the places that haven't been

Re: Reminiscing

The Attribute Transfer is nice to prototype an idea, but it's rather slow (unless they rebuild it since I used it) compared to the execution speed of a Vop Sop. In Vop Sop, I use the PcOpen + Pc Filter to mimic the Attribute Transfer at God speed :) While we're speaking of the xyz+PrimUV, I found

Re: Reminiscing

Take a look at the "primuv" and "xyzdist" VEX functions. They allow you to get near identical behaviour to closest point look ups. It's not too much work to wrap them up into reusable HDAs. (In fact, I'd recommend doing it as a good way to start getting your head around HDA creation as a
