I played around with this about a year ago but adding the RayFire_Asperity() to give may inside cuts detail. Code is not the best was just playing around. I would like to port somthing like this to the sdk but not use any third party plugins.
I see in mnmesh there is a mm->slice has some good options.
Dennis your code looks like a great starting point. Thanks for that!
here is the old crap code. It does work well but is slow and just a first write.

on the subject of slicing, what method do we think the Slice modifier uses on editable mesh in operate on polygon mode ?
it’s not MeshDelta::Slice or MeshDelta::Cut (works the same only if quads). Would be the one modifier you’d like to be in the samples that’s not :banghead:. So it’s probably something proprietary And why the polygon option is not made available to the editable mesh & modifier
Havent tried it, but couldn’t it be MNMesh::Slice?
The Slice modifier changes the object class according to the used method to PolyMeshObject or Editable_mesh.
so it does, thanks pt3d, not so proprietary after all
there’s an example of how to pass a PolyObject down the pipeline in tessmod.cpp BTW
