Unfortunately push is purely translates the vertices along their normal, resulting a puffier mesh...I need to maintain the polygon angles...

For a much more simple example (I guess), is to open up the sample scene Deformation_Push_with_Weightmap.scn. Just unplugg the weightmap in the ice tree to make a standard push operator. Don't know how it handles open edges tho. /Jens On Thu, Oct 18, 2012 at 11:58 AM, Szabolcs Matefy <[email protected]> wrote: Hey folks...I am not a big ICE dude, not a math dude, and I'm stuck. I made a compound (dissecting the Apply thickness compound) to create the move normal stuff (that freaking works in Max, but I haven't seen anything close in XSI yet), but I've got a problem... So, The problems are: 1. The move normal should move the vertices along their normal, and the distance between the deformed polygons surface and the original must be even, and uniform. So, the distance between the undeformed and deformed polygons are the same across the model. This compound does it, more or less. The main issue is visible in the attached scene. There is a geometry, with open edges. The compound seems to fail when moving along the open edges normal...If one could take a look at this compound, and gave me a slap where I did the mistake, I'd be really grateful... 2. Is it possible to use this compound on selected polygons only? Cheers Szabolcs ___ This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
