because people was interested in last mini-challenge and asked me about new I would like to offer another one…
run attached file.
it will create a ball in the scene.
the task is very simple – tessellate the ball
most elegant solution wins
enjoy!
please get most recent mse
Good stuff, this is really out of my league, I dont do many mesh ops, but I will try my best
i’m away for the weekend, will give it a try on monday evening
Is that an encrypted script I see there Denis?
that does not count... it's[b] idle encrypted script [/b]
I’m a bit confused… should we write a tesselation algorithm? Which commands can we use?
I’m guessing that
polyop.tessellateByFace $ #{1..512}
Is not ok?
I imagine it’s the fastest solution.
it’s not an issue how fast the method works. did you try to tessellate with tessellateByFace?[b]
[/b]it’s a sample of well-known problem – mesh resets explicitly specified normals on the mesh update.
is any way to solve it? that’s an issue.
Well it DOES Tessellate it, but also smooths it… But ok
what do you mean by smooth it ? it doesn’t smooth, it resets normals.
Sorry I mean… rounds it off. Tesselate could leave the form intact, turbosmooth/catmull rounds it off.
Edit: Although if u use smoothing groups like Turbosmooth has, u can technically use that algorithm to tessellate without rounding off.
Anyways…
