Decomposing a concave mesh into a set of convex meshes

[csp]

Is there any way to do something like this inside Houdini?

The only way I can think is in a while loop voronoi fracture your original geometry in two pieces, then in for for loop for each piece get a convex ratio = (vol+= (volume of convex representation / volume of original pice)/num_of_pieces) if ration is 1 then all the pieces are convex otherwise you have to repeat the process for the pieces that are still concave until it gets a ration of 1. But there so many problem with this to implement it using Houdini nodes, for starters you can't have a nested forloops (foreach).

I don't know the answer but you can have nested foreach, it will just be slower

I get an error whenever I do that. But, I managed to create a forloop with blast and copy SOPs and all this inside a foreach with a condition to stop when the ratio will be 1. But still this is random and not efficient.

Make sure your stamp variable names on the ForEacg are different
