>> My volume above has not extraordinary faces ?
Yes, there are extraordinary faces in your model.
At this moment the script supports extraordinary quads only, not triangles.

>> Is there a purpose of the comma after the curly braces: },
The purpose of a comma separator is to delimit members in a list.
For example:

var obj = {
  a: 22,
  b: 33,
  c: function() {return this.a+this.b},
  d: function() {return this.a*this.b},
  e: function() {return this.a/this.b}
}

>> I hope that open surfaces and extraordinary polys are a possibility someday...
I'll try to make it in the nearest future. 1-2 months.

>> you can preview a kindof "harder edge" output
I remember about this. It's old bug of hq mode. I just had no time to fix it, but I hope I'll do it soon.
So, don't use it that way :) At least now. ;)

>> control points, weights, knot vector, degree, etc...
It will be great! Thank you.

Excellent job Max! Thank you.

... only SubD exercise + blend... extravagant "Caraffa Cuore" :-)




render in Octan has to be improved... some triangle artefacts appeared.

Hi Pilou,
I've made two illustrations which might help you to understand what extraodinary faces is.

A vertex surrounded by three (1) or more than four (3) faces is called extraordinary vertex. And a vertex surrounded by four faces (2) is called ordinary.

If one or more vertex of a face is extraordinary, this face is called extraordinary too.


My script can load meshes with following types of polygons:

A - Ordinary quads ( 4 ordinary vertices ) - full support, best quality
B - Extraordinary quads ( 1 or more extraordinary vertex ) full support, best quality
C - Ordinary triangles ( 3 ordinary vertices ) looks good, but sometimes an artifacts can be noticable,
D - Extraordinary triangles ( 1 or more extraordinary vertex ) doesn't support at all. produces noticable artifacts on all neighbour faces.
E - Polar triangles ( group of triangles with a common vertex, two other vertices of each triangle must be ordinary ) full support, best quality.

So, you should not use type C and type D polygons.

THX for the detailed infos!

---

Beta8 will be soon ;)

---

Seems there are some new concepts realized!

---

Trying to imagine if you get this down to the vertex level..
.. :)

---

Looks like you're making great progress, Max! Can't wait to try those open surfaces!

Really amazing to see this in MOI - thanks again for all your efforts!

---

Hey Max,

Do you think it might be possible to have an option to crease open edges ?


In practice it should even be the 'default' behavior, but I'm probably biased by Modo default settings.

---

BWAAA!!! SOOOO AWESOME Max! :-) ..oh, the evil plans are a conjurin'

---

I think PaQ's suggestion would make a lot of sense as a 'default'. Having an option to crease other (non-outer) edges would be the icing on the cake, if possible ;-)

Hi guys!

>>Can't wait to try those open surfaces!
Next weekend, I hope. Maybe earlier, maybe later :)

>>Having an option to crease other (non-outer) edges would be the icing on the cake, if possible ;-)
It's possible, I have it in the plans.

PaQ
>>Do you think it might be possible to have an option to crease open edges ?
Yes. I've wrote this script block yesterday.

It's looking great Max!

Wonderful, thanks Max !

---

That amazing Max!

---

Woah! Sweet!! Need to create a tutorial on *that* version!

---

Thank you :)
The work is going on successfully.
I need from two to five days to finish it. In fact I can do it during one evening, but I'm busy at work (as always) :)

---

Somptuous!

---

Can't wait! :-)

---

Thickness possible or problematic for the last example?
