P. Casey Mahon replied to Mitch Heynick's discussion Triangular morphing/mapping

"Try to think about your mapping application as less of a box morph with triangles but a dynamic geometry...meaning building up the original form from points to lines to surfaces to volume then apply that logic to the grouping of triangles for the…"

"It gets wonky if your surface is divided into even numbers though...I just wanted to show the process for how you would do it quickly..."

P. Casey Mahon replied to Shuyang.Mi's discussion How to divide a suface like this?

"Shuyang, Its a pretty straight forward process to produce a checkerboard pattern once the surface is subdivided. Check out this definition and let me know if you have any questions."

P. Casey Mahon replied to marysol kraviez's discussion Panelling with non square based components

"those things would be great for sure, but are limited by the way that the box morphing works...it is possible to build all of your geometry from the uv grid of points on the surface instead of relying on a component to be morphed into twisted boxes…"

P. Casey Mahon replied to marysol kraviez's discussion Panelling with non square based components

"marysol, I don't know how Giulio went about the chain's, but a strategy that may work is to make your components go outside of their "boxes" so that your tile becomes pieces of neighbors that put together make the whole instead…"

P. Casey Mahon replied to Miguel Vidal's discussion centroid

"You can also use the Brep Volume (Surface>Analysis>m3) for the center of a volume...try a boolean union of all the solids and the volume of that should give you a centroid for the whole form...probably not exactly where the center of gravity…"
