This tool cuts a polygon mesh based on the partition pattern of kd-tree
How to install
Put kdcutting folder under Maya's script directory (i.e. C:/Users/<user>/Document/maya/<version>/scripts).
How to use
In Maya, use the following python script to launch the tool, you can also drag this snippet onto the shelf
and save it as a shortcut.
from kdcutting.ui import KdCuttingUI
KdCuttingUI().show_ui()
Parameters
Samples:
* Sample Method
Algorithm used to generate samples
* Standard: uniform random distribution within mesh bounding box
* Gauss: gauss distribution
* Count
Number of samples
* Seed
Random seed for sample generator
* Gauss mu
The *μ* parameter of gauss function, visually it decrease the degree of dispersion of samples
* Gauss sigma
The *σ* parameter of gauss function which affects the variance, visually it increase
the degree of dispersion of samples
Setting:
* Keep Origin
Apply cutting to the copy of the selected mesh, keep the mesh unmodified
* Group Pieces
Group the generate pieces
* Group Name
Specify the name of the piece group
Visualize:
* Visualize
Create a particle system to visualize the sample based on the current parameters
* Reset
Remove the managed particle system used for visualization if there was one present
