Much appreciated, Jens, thank you :) I am currently making a further demo scene for emTopolizer2, sort of an attempt of a Borgmannesque-Effect. Will let you know when is finished and available for download. PS: don't hesitate to request demo scenes if you need some help. emTopolizer2 can be a

Okay, there is a new emTopolizer2 demo scene called Clothy_FX1. It is really not that great (i.e. my plan to make something à la Tim Borgmann failed), but hopefully it will give you some ideas.

The memory consumption of emPolygonizer4 can grow quite fast. The more input particles and the higher the level of detail the more memory it will consume. emTopolizer2 however meshes things bit by bit which results in neglectable memory consumption no matter how your level of detail might look.

PS: emPolygonizer4 works well for most setups! It is just that it has its limits when working with very heavy inputs and extreme level of details.

Hey XSI list, There is an update of emPolygonizer4 available. It is version 4.250 and it has a new feature called Create ICE Data from internal Representation. If you belong to that group of people who like ICE and enjoy screwing around with ICE data then you might like this new feature ;)

Hey Thomas, Yes, that is more or less correct, but only if we talk about polygonizing stuff, in which case both plugins serve the same purpose with emPolygonizer4 being the artist-version and emTopolizer2 the TD-version. But it must be noted that emTopolizer2 can do so much more than just
