Hi Wieland.

 

Yes this is part of the new version of Kangaroo coming shortly. I'll write up a proper explanation soon, but it's basically a range of ways of optimizing meshes for various qualities, such as equal sized triangles, smoothness, equal angles, planar quads or hexagons, bending energy, curvature...

All of these factors can be assigned different weightings, and combined with existing forces, such as inflation or gravity, and adjusted in real time.

 

What's different about this compared to most existing tools is that it needn't be applied to a target surface as a post-rationalization, but these constraints and optimization goals can actually be used to design from scratch because of their interactivity, shaping the design through more of a human/computer collaboration.

It's growing!!

really nice topology solver..

Great, I am looking forward to to see and read more about mesh optimization. Will it be part of a new version of Kangaroo?
