Recommended Posts

can i for example

create a spine curve

then have ONE polygon cylinder be deformed by that curve (squash and stretch and all)

then have that cylinder deform the upper body of the character via enveloping

or alternatively (would be even better)

can i envelope geometry with a curve ?

so in maya language: skin geometry to a curve

thanks for your help

WireCapture and WireDeform SOP do that.

You can also copy metaballs on any geometry then capture and deform using the metaball capture (basically creating custom muscles).

Dragos

this means i can theoretically just create a spine with a curve and no need for bones or geometry ?

Hmm, well, not interested enough in purchasing the material. Does anyone know if it's available off of the full conference material? If so, I can probably find it from work. The abstract seems kinda interesting and potentially doable without the HDK?

Sesi doesn't have an office copy?

I would very interested in learning how to do this without the HDK... my VOP skillz are not that strong.
