Asymmetrical GATORing

Hey Guys, Lets say I have a perfectly symmetrical mesh ( along the X axis ) and I build a few blendshapes for that mesh that are also perfectly symmetrical. Next, lets say I GATOR those blendshapes onto a different but also perfectly symmetrical mesh ( a lower/higher res version that has the same

Well GATOR is not doing a 1:1 copy of the shapes, it's reinterpreting every point by the transformation of each individual closest triangle using pointlocator/locations magic, a.k.a. barycentric coordinates

Thanks Alan, That link you provided is a bit over my head, but I get what you're saying. On Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 3:42 PM, Alan Fregtman wrote: > Well GATOR is not doing a 1:1 copy of the shapes, it's reinterpreting > every point by the transformation of each individual closest triangle using > p

Re: Asymmetrical GATORing

Hey Chris, Here's an oversimplification, if it helps you or others visualize it better: 1. For every point on the source mesh, find the closest triangle our target's mesh our point fits in -- a quad has 2 triangles, of course, so one of them. 2. Imagine that triangle's edges are tig

Nah, not condescending at all. That definitely makes it more clear. Thanks again Alan! On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 11:07 AM, Alan Fregtman wrote: > Hey Chris, > > Here's an oversimplification, if it helps you or others visualize it > better: > > >1. For every point on the source mesh, find the c
