I was checking some scripts in the net and I found Alan Fregtman's evenCurves.py gist.github.com/darkvertex?sort=created&direction=asc

It was very interesting to read even if I don't write too much python ( I just cant get used to the "application" writing and its difficult to understand error logs ), and I though, what if I do use this to re-align points in selected edges ?!

Instead of using complicated Math (that always get me headaches), I could just create curves and align the points to the curve!

I gave it a shot and here it is:


The code is still a little dirty, but it works. Most of the time at least.

Warning: If you are a python newbie I wouldn't recommend to learn from my code

To do: Making it a Scripted Operator (maybe ICE based ?)

Link not working. Would be nice if myara can upload it again.

There's 'strand fitting' node inside Melena, which is doing exactly what you described, much faster than running the iterations directly in ICE. Input could be any array of 3d vectors. Anyway perhaps it 'fits' better as an live operator, I've used it for things like flag animation, deformed by plain turbulence, then normalized back to certain relative or absolute length in one poly-flow direction. Looks much more realistic.

I uploaded it to my dropbox

@ Darcvizer
The script you are using is Alan's evenCurves.py and it works with curves only.

@ Mathaeus
Thanks for the tip. I wanted to do a live version, but ended up dropping this one since it did the work when I needed it, and nowadays I don't code too much in Softimage.

Thank you very much desired thing!

Nice nice nice!

Thanks!
