Greetings! Is there any solution to smooth the density of points on the surface?

After the FlowExtendSrf command, I encountered a large cluster of points in the center of the new surface. I wanted to see if there was any way I could "relax" these dots?




A similar method to mine that fully reflects what I need exists in Rhino, but I want to have this feature in my favorite software.
I attached video.

Hi Moi3dFan, can you post the .3dm file with the surface that you're showing in the screenshot?

You might try extracting several isoparms except skipping the area that you want smoothed, and then use Construct > Network to build a new surface.

Manipulating the surface control points directly can have poor results if the surface is not uniformly parameterized.

The file's uploaded.

That's the solution too, thanks! I know many ways how to do it by hand. However, I would like to understand if it can be done with scripts or something else.

Let it be left to human conscience, because any tool has limitations. The main thing is to have this possibility, to smooth the points/surface points.

Hi Moi3dFan, sorry there is not really enough information available to scripts to be able to do that currently.

In any case, thanks! I understand what you meant by this toolkit, and as a result, your solution is very elegant. The surface point tools are a tricky process in places. And if you do one function, you will have to do another, and so on. And everything can grow into a tool that is difficult to understand.

But if we talk about selection tools. Is there any way to highlight a row/column of points on a surface? Or Grow/Shrink selection of points?

Hi Moi3dFan,

re:

Sorry no there isn't a way to do either of these things currently.

Surface control point manipulation generally works better with sub-d surfaces instead of NURBS surfaces.

You may want to use a sub-d modeling program to do surface point manipulation type work and then convert the sub-d surface into MoI using SubD > Create > "From file".

Yesterday the first time, I heard from this script, in the plasticity discord group, it's gold.

Hi
Recently I was working on updating one of my nodes for nodeeditor (quad repatch)
It turned out that it works well for regenerating surfaces, so I decided to make a script from it.
Although it wasn't designed to smooth surfaces, but you can use it for doing this as well.

The script is almost finished. Just need to do some final tests.

This is great! The script will work within the Node Editor, right?
I would have already tested, I'm very curious)

Hi Moi3dFan
It is a script, so you can run it inside moi. ( Also I'm working on node version of it . )

So the future script or nodes put control points on surface ?

It rebuilds the surface with any number of control points you choose.
Like this simple plane that I rebuilt it with all these control points and then moved the points.


Or this one that I reconstructed, and decreased its control points.

That's really cool! I look forward to hearing from you

For people looking for it in the future.
