"for loop" or "2d array ... " thing like this should be implement first because i think it's very need!

For things I (personally) planning to create in Canvas, actually it's enough to have an animated hierarchy, 'weighting' is procedural. well, i think it's harder and harder due to FE not have implement 2d in canvas yet. Bring a mesh from ddc to fabric and do a skinning maybe more difficult than do a...

wait to see it!

the hair look quite nice actually, is that your child?

It's not only idea, already utilized something similar to get things in Houdini. While is not so elegant, it gives you a very visual feedback of what you really have. Two arrays (deformed indices and weights) already are stored on mesh, it's just a bit of work to decompose them in ICE and compose b...

Its harder than I anticipated. I forget that "per-point context" in ICE, is dealt with as just an array in Fabric, so you've used up one array dimension just on that. Thats so locked into my way of thinking, that its hard to get my head around the fact that a simple ICE array is in fact a...

well another try!

Wouldn't a pointcloud be the same as a mesh? Sure;y yoU just end Up with an array of positions either way.. Why can't you store it as an ICE attribute and use crate to embed it in the alembic file? Or if you don't want to deal with 2d arrays, split the second dimension into separate attributes. sor...

perhaps it could be a nice exercise to somehow store the weights as point positions on mesh copies in ICE, export these mesh copies into FE and re assemble all in FE... Hi Anto, Nice idea, but i think only way to do is create a pointcloud an store it into a pointcloud .. :-s, not try yet but look l...

hi there, little research in fabric with skinning stuff, right now still not get anything work like the way it's is in ICE. I'm try to rea create a simple Linear blend skinning in fabric ... have a look at my video and sample canvas file to get an idea thank for your attention [media]https://vimeo.c...

hi rray, A little test with you compound, it's very great :x i'm not full test with performance until now .. i have some question? - can i sort point id?( as you can see on my attach image it's random, i want to sort it from a start to end of the curve sorry this method i still dont know how to do i...

Having just seen this thread, http://forums.fabricengine.com/discussion/284/tubular-skinning#latest I was wondering what currently made (non scripted) mesh generation more or less of a big(ish) deal in FE. ◯ I also make a same topic "loft through strand" in Fabric forum, just want to know...

hi,
i will try a little test tomorrow and show here what i get
thanks you! ;;)

hi rray, sorry if i asking to much here, if you don't mind :ymblushing: -What if my emitter is curve or a point cloud it's possible right? but it's not what you compound focus on, i think you more focus on realistic. But what i try to do is make it more flexible grooming tool so that i can use it fo...

thanks rray, :ymhug: It's possible to create long hair with it but tbh I wouldn't use it for that. The issue with long hair is so it would look realistic, you'd need simulation with self collision, and there's not a lot of hair simulators available today that are capable of that. What seems to me as...

probiner, thank you very much!
