A polygon node, or polynode for short, a polygon corner. So every polygon has as many nodes as vertices, and every vertex is associated with as many nodes as polygons that it shares.
In the context of UV editing, they are also sometimes called texture sampling points, or sample points for short. In Maya, they are called vertex faces, and in Max they are called face vertices. gray From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Olivier Jeannel Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2016 3:20 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: polygon area sum for normalizing texel density Can someone explain what is a Polynode ? That's one I don't know when and why it should be used for.

You can drill down into the triangles collection of the polygonmesh object to get access to the triangulated mesh. From there, just sum the triangles for each polygon as the node ids will match the triangle index ids. You can alternately ignore node indices and iterate via polygon index property on each triangle.

Just leave that machine on windows 7 until it dies, and you'll get windows 10 on the next PC. There is a way, however, you can keep your "free windows 10" option open forever and not worry about the end date. I have done this myself, twice. To do that, you need to upgrade your windows 7 to windows 10, check that it's activated, and then downgrade back to windows 7. Your BIOS will then be activated for both 7 and 10, and you can re-install windows 10 at any time in the future. That's also the way to do a "clean install" of windows 10: you upgrade, wipe, and then install windows 10 from the downloaded .iso At this point, it would be best if you cloned your boot disk, which I did on one PC with the free software that comes with SSD drives. It's a perfect time to upgrade to SSD if you haven't done so, and then you can leave your unused windows 7 drive for safe-keeping. After you install windows 10, you have 30 days to revert to windows 7, it's a button in the control panel. (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows-10/going-back-to-windows-7-or-windows-81) This works, although in my experience some things messed up in the upgrade/downgrade process, so it's best to clone the drive. XSI and Adobe survive the process just fine, however. Personally, I have two HP computer that broke in some ways (realtek audio not working, not waking up sleep) with windows 10. You can install something called "GWX Control Panel" to block all the nagging messages and automatic downloads of windows 10.

Unwrapping will be via UniqueUVs. just need an even texel density accross all objects. Thank you, Fabian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
