stak modifier- level modeling... how to call it? About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011.

I mean... I create a cube, let's say... then I apply a "modify layer", I draw a polygon in one of his face and I extrude.... If I wanna switch to the previous shape, I just have to select the previous step... If i wish to animate the whole face where the new extruded poly is, I just have to animate the face, in the previous modifier stak, where the extruded poly resides... Don't know if i've been clear :) That's a great function easy to find in major 3d appz... But i haven't found yet on truespace (6.6) Post by kurageart // Dec 15, 2006, 12:31am kurageart Total Posts: 37 or, lets say I draw a curve, i extrude it then, to animate the whole object, all i have to do is to animate the curve points??? Post by Chester Desmond // Dec 15, 2006, 4:46am Chester Desmond Total Posts: 323 This can (sort of) be done with NURBS. A loft or birail surface are constructed from curves, and the curves can be manipulated and animated but you can't really add "layers" to it, in other words it will always be just those curves you have to work with. Subdivision surfaces also have layers, so you can go to a lower resolution level and adjust a polygon to affect the higher res upper levels. There iss also a plugin called meshforge which allowed you to stack modifiers to modify a polygonal object ..you could use twist, bend, taper type functions and have access to tweak each in a stack or re-order the modifiers.. it's available in the anipak .. http://www.caligari.com/Products/trueSpace/ts5/plugins/caligari/AniPack/default.asp?Cate=Caligari None of these answers sounds like exactly what you are describing though. :o Post by kurageart // Dec 15, 2006, 5:00am kurageart Total Posts: 37 mmm well, kinda fine :) sometimes limitations can give new inspiration ! is it meshforge avaible separately?looks cool!
