Sculpt Deformer

[Toonafish]

I created a simple sculpt deformer compound. Just add a WeightMap to the geometry, change the Minimum Weight Value to -1 and paint away.

Adjust Factor to increase or decrease effect, or change the curve to your liking. A weight value of +1 will push outward, an value of -1 ( hold Shift while painting ) inward.

happy sculpting.

This looks very interesting! I don't know how I missed it up until now. I'm going to give it a go. Thanks for sharing!!!

Edit: It IS very cool! You've single handedly brought basic sculpting to SI. Awesome!!!

Perhaps it would be interesting to unify it with "adaptive subdivision" compound,
to get those geometry iterations going on when points/edges get stretched/distanced?
Something like simple Sculptris, Dyna MEsh, 3dcoat voxel mesh...


ICE Topo - Adaptative Subdivision

Yes indeed! Maybe a good thing for the ice community project.

Hey, thanks guys. Never thought anyone would find it useful, so I kind of forgot about it, because a little while after posting this I found out it's already in the box by default : Property > Map Paint Tools > Paint Push Tool.

But a good idea to combine it with the adaptive subd compound. I'll give it a shot.
