Animation, 3D scripts and tools, stuff and nonsense

Okay, let’s get this party started. Fabric Splice is freakin’ awesome and any studio can get 50 licenses for free.

Here’s the simplest possible deformer that i can possibly think of – the good old “push” operator from softimage. It moves vertices along the point normal.

require Math;
require Geometry;

operator doPushOp<<<index>>>(in Scalar amplitude, io PolygonMesh mesh0){
  Vec3 pos = mesh0.getPointPosition(index);
  Vec3 n  = mesh0.getPointNormal(index);
  
  Vec3 newPos = pos + (n * amplitude);
  mesh0.setPointPosition(index, newPos);
  
}

operator pushop(in Scalar amplitude, io PolygonMesh meshes[]) {
  for (Size i=0; i<meshes.size(); i++) {
    meshes[i].recomputePointNormals();
    doPushOp<<<meshes[i].pointCount()>>>(amplitude, meshes[i]);
    }

}
