Re: thickness - avoiding self intersections

you could try Meshmixer, it’s free and used for 3D printing but has a “hollowing” feature that might work. -Ronald > On 12 Dec 2016, at 16:25, Fabricio Chamon wrote: > > ...well and minutes after writing the e-mail I found a really reliable > solution in houdini, that is messing with vdb t

Re: Otish - is there a Maya equivalent of XSI's Deform by Curve?

I had to do something similar in 2017 a while ago. You have to attach it to a path via the constrain panel ( constrain > motion paths > attach  to motion path ), and then "> flow motion path". Like Joseph already mentioned, Maya then creates a lattice deformer that deforms the mesh along th
