    Reversed surface normals go inwards to measure the inside occlusion of the mesh. Complementing the outside/ambient exposure (1.0 - exposure) would just remap the values.

    Hi karen, Store the nearest mesh point for each scatter point. Promote nearest point numbers to an array under detail. Group the mesh points that can be found inside the array. group_closest.hipnc

    Hi Antoine, there's a Convex decomposition-node that can do similar things. Otherwise you could create clusters based on reversed ambient occlusion. mesh_segmentation.hip

    Hi Antoine, you may want to look into this: https://procegen.konstantinmagnus.de/drawing-a-silhouette-around-a-mesh

    The resample node has a distance attribute to set the height of the tubes. The input tube has been shifted sideways by its radius. copy_tubes.hip

    Glad you like it. I'd recommend rendering only the particles instead of VDBs. It's a lot faster and can get way more detailed.

    Hi Velk, I'd scatter heightfields with millions of points. sand.hipnc

    To animate the spider web threads, you would pin the end points and set vellum to the constraint type 'string'. For membranes to 'cloth'. spiderweb.hipnc

    For static models I mostly just fake gravity based on curve lengths or surface distances: https://procegen.konstantinmagnus.de/spider-web https://procegen.konstantinmagnus.de/minimal-surface-membrane Eg. for resampled curve segments on a spider web, a is the user defined hanging amount, u the relative and r the absolute length. u * (1.0 - u) is a function to make the curves hang in their center. float a = chf('amount'); float u = vertexcurveparam(0, i@vtxnum); float r = primintrinsic(0, 'measuredperimeter', i@primnum); v@P.y -= u * (1.0 - u) * a * r; spiderweb.hipnc

    Cool, I've just replaced the iterative approach by a tracer that does practically the same thing. int steps = chi('steps'); float w = chf('width'); float dist = 0.0; if(f@mask < 0.5){ vector pos = v@P; for(int i = 0; i < steps; i++){ vector grad = volumegradient(0, 'height', pos); pos -= normalize(grad) * w; float mask = volumesample(0, 'mask', pos); if(mask > 0.5){ dist = 1.0 - i / (steps - 1.0); break; } } } f@mask = max(f@mask, dist); snow_accum.hipnc

    Hi Isaac, in this case couldn't you work with one ray, eg. using the ray SOP with inverted normals? thickness.hipnc
  14. konstantin magnus
    Hi Ploy, you could streak the object mask on towards the gradient. heightfield_snow.hipnc
  15. konstantin magnus
    I think you would still need to correct the point numbers to really make all the tiles match, but yeah, I'm glad it's useful.

    Copy the height fields to the points of an octahedron to shape a cube, apply noise there and assign them to a cross. Alternatively try sampling the world position noise from a cube mesh right away: int index[] = array(0,2,1,3,5,4); vector bb = relbbox(0, v@P); vector uvw = set(bb.x, bb.z, 0.0); vector pos = primuv(1, 'P', index[i@primnum], uvw); float height = noise(pos * 50.0) * 200.0; f@density = height; heightfield_cube.hipnc

    Hi Natiq, maybe there is a node for this, but you could overlap both height fields and sample them into a new one: float band = chf('band'); float h_0 = volumesample(1, 'height', v@P); float h_1 = volumesample(2, 'height', v@P); float mask = smooth(-band, band, v@P.x); f@height = lerp(h_0, h_1, mask); hf_blend.hip
