Extrude and extrude and extrude and...
Re: Extrude and extrude and extrude and...
Well, I really think it would make a cool workshop. I won't start it because I have so many things to do that I can't guarantee I'll be able to host it all the way to the end.
The first step would be to build a compound that extrudes every polygon of an input mesh along its normal. While not suitable for complete beginners, this is certainly doable for those who've had a little experience with ICE.

Re: Extrude and extrude and extrude and...
Well i don't really have any time for this right now either but if no-one takes the baton in the next couple of weeks i'l give it a go then.
I'll probably require some hand-holding though..;)

Re: Extrude and extrude and extrude and...
I probably have the time but I suck at ICE. I've been studying it since 7.5 and have realized that its still for programmers and people who are much smarter than me...
I did make a few of the widget shapes with ICE modeling in hope that someone can make a library of which the POTENTIAL compound draws from. I love Kerro Perros idea of having different little shapes and antennas in there. Here are a few of the basic tetris shapes similar to the Max plugin complete with inset, height, X and Z parameters. You should be able to plug them in to an ice tree on an empty mesh. Again, I'm not the best at this so they may not be set up the right way. I hope it helps someone:

A workshop?!
I´ll join it, for shure!!!

WIP. No repeat nodes, as always. I don't like its speed, but I wonder how much time it would have spent with repeat node...

Nope, I was dumb
It's so much fun to extrude polygon islands randomly in real-time! I wish I could record a video

Re: Extrude and extrude and extrude and...
Wait is this an update to this tool ? I could use this now for what I'm modeling, I have to see more on how this works if this is an update ?iamVFX wrote:Before go to sleep...

Yeah that's starting to look really great Constantine!
Re: Extrude and extrude and extrude and...
What does it mean? Is it my compound slow? But if it so, why the time is so low compared to the ICETree?
Re: Extrude and extrude and extrude and...
If I remember correctly, ICE Topology is just describing a stack of commands, so the timer is super fast for the "pure ICE Graph" part of the topo operation.
Then the terminal node use this 'topology stack' to call 'true' polygon mesh functions, and this is why the timer is quite large for this very specific node.
Cheers,

Thanks for answer, Guillaume. So it seems I can't debug this particular case. I think there is the problem with Extrude Polygon Island performance since my compound has three of them and a few set topology nodes. At least it is still leaks if you don't build array from the input set so something wrong with it for sure...

Re: Extrude and extrude and extrude and...
hi everyone ,,,
I'm really starting using Ice, and I'm looking for a GReeble compound
I just wondering if it is any advance in this topic
thanks
sorry about my english
