PatW Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Since there is the new biharmonic capture in H16, is it possible to compute biharmonic distance from any point on a surface ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 It computes biharmonic weights directly so probably not. Having said that, you'd likely get the same shape of the biharmonic distance function though although I haven't tried to see if you get any sensible results if you only give a single constraint point of all ones. EDIT: Actually, scratch that. The node enforces weight normalization (across captured influences) so if you only give a single constraint point, it will just produce a weight of 1 everywhere.

petz Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 it wouldn´t be too hard to implement but if you need the actual distance along a mesh it´s most probably the geodesic distance what you want. the advantage of using biharmonic distance is that it´s rather smooth but not necessarily exact ... petz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
