sirogi Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 ever heard of a polar inversion function? ....and did I mention that it wouldn't solve the problem? spoke too soon on that one..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danteA Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Why bother doing something so painfully when there's the ray sop around? Add some spring dynamics and you might even get something clothy looking. How about just some more cool demonstrations of the Ray SOP like how to do animated 3D morphs between arbitrary geometries with different point counts?

MG Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 thats how i got it done... The deformation looks odd, but it seems to works. But really, how did you achieve this? I mean, using only Point SOPs seems hard (at least to me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mir Posted December 14, 2002 Author Share Posted December 14, 2002 deform the grid into a cylinder and then pinch the edges in the x and the y direction Mir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
