nbyte Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Here a quick Gif on a hda I'm working to smooth the seams of an boolean operation. You have control how far from the boolean seams you want to smooth the geometry. Nico 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Thrower Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 This is what I am looking for) Try to make same thing for about two weeks, but no result. Great thing! Could you explain in breaf, how you made this? It will be very useful for making trunk with branches for project i am currently working on.

nbyte Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Hi Ruslan, it is relative simple. Do a normal bool. Do a VEX or VOP Pointcloud-Lookup between the points of the seam and the geometry points and calculate the distance to the closest point to the seams. Use this distance variable to modulate the smoothing amount of the mesh - pipe some ramp in between to control the falloff. If you want to modulate the smooth directly, you have to make the smooth in VEX/VOP (Search the web for laplacian smooth in VEX). If you use the smooth sop - blend between the smoothed geo and the unsmoothed in VOP with the help of the ramped distance variable. I hope this helps ... I have planned to release the tool on Orbolt. I have to make more tests and make some cleanup. Time is the problem :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Thrower Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Thanks, Nico! Yeah, time is very limited) Try to implement this solution, will give a feedback when reach some result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbyte Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Here a little Video that shows how to use this tool. I'm trying to upload it to Orbolt - but there are some server problems going on ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbyte Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 While waiting for my tool being reviewed on Orbolt - I have added some extra parameter to better control the transition. Does anyone know how much time the reviewing process takes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbyte Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 The tool is now available at Orbolt: Smoothbooleanseams 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
