However, just wanna ask you guys how to i turn meshes into solids? like the model above? i've gotten around wbframe and catmull, but ive only got a flat mesh surface. how do i add depth ? extrude? thanks in advance! great work Giulio!

Comment by Andrea Polato on March 21, 2010 at 6:29am: Thanks Giulio! This is really amazing and usefull.

I want to apply one texture on the whole mesh which is what usualy happens when you make a delaunay mesh (image below) but when i use Weaverbird to subdivide the same mesh the texture suddenly applies to each individual meshes.

Comment by Arthur Mamou-Mani on March 18, 2010 at 10:05am: This is what i mean btw:

Comment by Arthur Mamou-Mani on March 18, 2010 at 10:02am: Hi Giulio,
When i bake and try to render the mesh it seems to be loosing it s original texture information (similarly to when you rebuild a mesh).
Is that something that can be fixed ?
thanks,
Arthur

Comment by Giulio Piacentino on March 17, 2010 at 4:59pm: Mh, sure... there's the example definition for this already coming with the installer, but if I can manage to overcome my shyness I'll make a video, too. :) - Giulio

Comment by Arthur Mamou-Mani on March 17, 2010 at 11:12am: It would be great if you could post a video tutorial of how you used Weaverbird to make the surface above :)
