Ice Topology | build mesh from pointcloud trinagulizer thing
Hi guys, In SI, I have a tracked shot of a topview (from airplane) of a forest. Basicly, 1000 nulls (trackpoints). I was wondering if there was a possibility to mesh those nuls in order to recreate the terrain topology ? Maybe there is already a compound somewhere able to trace a triangle every 3 vertices ? Any ideas ?
Re: Ice Topology | build mesh from pointcloud trinagulizer thing
There's no need for ice topo, you would over complicate things..can't you use the built-in polygonizer ? It can handle nulls too. but probably a faster/better workflow would be to put all the nulls into a group, then emit particles on the global position array and polygonize that...
Re: Ice Topology | build mesh from pointcloud trinagulizer thing
depending on how accurate the terrain topology should be, but a quick way could be setting a key in the position of all the nulls in frame 2, then go to frame 1 and set another position key BUT with the y value at 0, so you have this bed of nulls. And finally you could create a grid or similar planar geometry and envelope it to the nulls in frame 1... Quick and dirty job, but sometimes useful. Orlando.

Re: Ice Topology | build mesh from pointcloud trinagulizer thing
Yes, I know and I did this method, but it gives a blobby mesh where I would have need a kind of planar deformed thing. (I ended with shrink warping a grid on the pointcloud (fron nulls kine global pos) to get an average terrain, then I shall hand model on the top of it.) But that's too bad there is nothing out there for flat meshing pointclouds. Something like a compound in which you indicate a stating point (first point ID) and then it would expand to the neighbors and mesh.

That's a nice trick Orlando :) Old skool but sweet still On Fri, Dec 7, 2012 at 6:07 AM, Orlando Esponda orlando.espo...@gmail.comwrote: depending on how accurate the terrain topology should be, but a quick way could be setting a key in the position of all the nulls in frame 2, then go to frame 1 and set another position key BUT with the y value at 0, so you have this bed of nulls.
