Hi PaQ,

your DistanceToPoint set-up is pretty awesome!

My first try with an imported .iges file from MoI. :-)
(I show the backside, because it looks imho cool)

Hope I can post soon some ideas, with your
file and MoI.

So many possibilities with PaQ's set-up … (where is that PayPal donate button :-))

I tried with a high grid setting (1024x1024) and used a Mandelbrot outline, which
I had created long ago with MoI.

Super cool result Stefan !
I havn't invented anything here, I just lean it from this site :

Houdini is a bottomless well ! :)

Hi PaQ,

o.k., but you share your knowledge with pretty cool examples,
which I, as a Houdini noob, would not come up with nor find
the required resources easily. ;-) So, thanks for that!

Regards
Stefan

O.k., after a second try I had to render this Mandelbrot, to better see how it would look
like as an image. Looks a bit like chocolate … :-)

Stefan

I am always amazed by the funny result of all that! (only ZSurf + SimLab Composer Lite) and test with Moi for accelerate the process of Download!

Hi Pilou,

indeed amazing what can be done. I am very glad that PaQ contributed so much valuable
infos and presets to this thread, which can open for us now new possibilities!

BTW. When looking at your image i think we can prepare with ZSurf (only using black
and white images, no greyscale) and MoI cool outlines for the set-up PaQ provided to
us. I.e. meaning once we have the Zsurf surface in MoI we simply trim it at a certain
position to get a nice edge, copy and paste it to have the outline … :-)

Moi is the Swiss knife! ;)

About GAEA - fresh air! a free version is existing! ;) (technology of the French SketchFab is some amazing!
(of course in Full screen on your biggest monitor = pleasure of the eyes!)

@PaQ

Best regards

Re-rendered this guy, to get rid of the chocolate look … :-D

Stefan

Thank you!

Picked some closed curves from an old MoI project and run it also
through PaQ's set-up, with a grid setting of 1024x1024, which then
shows the curves nicely.

Stefan

the PaQ's set-Up is only for Houdini for be sure ?

Yes, only for Houdini.

Stefan

Hi Pilou,

you can try to do the same with ArtForm and the function "Region Relief",
once you have imported the curves and defined them as new model.

Regards
Stefan

I will try that! :)

I have ArtForm Pro 3.5 (or named 4.0 at start screen)

Does it Updated for a new free version ? (yet sufficient...just for info... :)
(remember that was a little trick to install :)

And it's not an easy intuitive prog! :)
