Hey All,
I a, struggling understanding this:
How can we get "elastic structures" to render as a solid mesh?
In the Lagoa Multi physics teaser I attached a still capture for reference.
How was the geometry created based on the elastic structure?

http://vimeo.com/13457383 I am not sure how to ask the question! Or where to look for answers.
How was the elastic structure object created or rendered as a solid mesh with cloth material?
I just need to be directed into the right direction.
Many thanks in advance,
Cheers

Hi,
Take a look at "ICE -> Create -> Surface from Point Cloud" while you are selecting the Point Cloud, this will create a mesh.

Yes it does but wouldn't that give me a bloby surface or a liquid like surface....I am looking for some workflow for creating topology with hard surface.
Thanks

under xsi sample scenes you have some lagoa examples. check them out, specialy lagoa softbody or simulate mesh.

OK I guess I found something here!!!
what I want is to add custom operator for reading Lagoa topology attribute to re-build the mesh.

This video is another reference that such thing exists

Any Ideas where to find such add-on, compound or custom operator???
Help please

please let us know which solution you found on this. would be very interested,too!
thanks.

I have the same question.
How to rebuild the mesh after lagoa simulation?
(surface pointcluds is only useful for fluids)

thanks

I used to be tried to mesh cloth and stuff, but then I took an arrow to the knee...
