Trying to make a new particle retopo algorithm, still experimenting with the dynamics a bit. #b3d #blender #retopology

How do you detect the object's surface? What's your plan for maintaining the shape near curvatures?

Particles know their own normal, so I take the average of the local vectors that kinda match even though they dont really. Its similar to the extrinsic field smoothibng technique from the instant meshes paper.

Just today I'm doing retopo in blender. something like this could make people very happy and probably also avoid wars and reach utopy on earth because retopo is enemy number one of humanity🙂 impressive work btw

i think this is how remesh works in houdini, point relax to mesh

Where are the hard edges? there's non

Still WIP.

Bugs swarming my porch light:

You guessed my idea. now I need to inplement pheromones for comunication then they will follwo pheromones and trace square spiderwebs. They also need to multiply like cockroaches to cover the surface.

wow I need this, are you using something like lloyd voronoi?

kindof correct
