Hi,

Yes I implemented it using Python and Qt/Pyside.

This is the original video I made long ago:



Also 2 more videos that goes deep into the details of it:





Some of the details are outdated though. I made countless changes to it since then. I will make updated videos when H19 is released because the new version has more features.

Now there are customizable popup menus, viewport lock indicators, smart node creation, multi node editing like Nuke, etc.

If you have access to the subdivision limit surface by patch IDs and the patch UVs, then surely you can scatter points on the limit subdivision limit surface just like you scatter points on a polygonal surface.

And this is exactly what we are gonna do in this chapter.

Thank you Animatrix for sharing this knowledge!

Thanks a lot Mikhail!


When we are talking about creating a lot of points, we can not avoid pre-generating them for maximum performance. It might not always be applicable but when it is, the performance gains can be quite significant.
