Hi,

Thanks for your help.

Indeed I used Lattices and Bouding box to avoid the geometry stretching.
It kind of work but it is still not very realistic.

I didn't get how to use point clouds. :roll:. I didn't find any Doc on point clouds.

I try to gather as much approach as possible. That is what I did so far. By mixing many of these approches it kind of work.
But still, I don't get good results.

Thank you guys.

Hello,

I am trying to build a SOP that can take any geometry an turn it into an inflatable object.
I try several approches such as “particle deformation”, Bulge and metaball, softpic. But I am a bit stuck.
Bulge and metaball seems to be a good starting point. The problem that when an object is inflated using a Bulge SOP and Metaballs it's stretches. I wish to be able to keep the same surface area and just inflate the object without streching it.

Any idea or any starting point or anything that can help me to acheive this is welcome.

Thank you guys.
