Polygonizer - Mesh from a point cloud

Post by juca » 18 Nov 2013, 22:38

Hi All,
Please can I have some suggestions.
I have followed the below tutorial as I am looking to use this as a solution for generating snow for my roof tops! (ant ohter technique suggestions welcomed)
https://vimeo.com/22746730

In summary,
In a new scene.
I created an empty point cloud
I made an Ice tree from the above tutorial where I generated point information based on a mesh (my roof!)
I then selected the point cloud and went to create>Polgonizer.
From what I see It generates a polygon mesh in the explorer but I cannot see anything in the viewport (checked filter/scene layers/etc)

The tutorial lacks the mesh generation stage and from what I see the polygonizer was there from the start of the tutorial.

It does work. I can generate a mesh from a couple of nulls.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated,
J

TYPICAL!!
I solved it!
Rather than creating an empty point cloud, I selected my mesh and created an ICE pointcloud by a apply an IC basic particle emmision.
