Hi,
Great addon! Im still a beginner in Softimage and especially ICE but have a question for the addon. In houdini I used the copy sop alot to create facade studies (i'm an architect) with variations within the components. I have tow questions that the addon might are able to help me with:
1. How do i create a pointcloud from a object where the points are at the centerpoint of each face?
2. How do i duplicate a new component onto the pointcloud using the facenormal to allign the duplicates to the surfaces curvature?
Have attached a simple description picture
Is this possible and if so how? Hope someone are able to help. trying to convince my office that ICE is just as capable as Houdini for designing parametric facades for our projects.
