Polypatch SOP
Summary[edit]
The Polypatch SOP creates a smooth polygonal patch from a mesh primitive or a set of faces (polygons, NURBS or Bezier curves).
Parameters - Polypatch Page
Group group - Subset of input to use. Accepts patterns, as described in Pattern Matching.
Basis basis - ⊞ - Select spline type: Cardinal or BSpline.
- Cardinal
cardinal-
- BSpline
bspline-
Connectivity connecttype - ⊞ - This option is used to select how the points of the created surface are connected.
- Rows
rows- Creates horizontal lines, which are open polygons.
- Columns
cols- Creates vertical lines, which are open polygons.
- Rows and Columns
rowcol- Both rows and columns, all open polygons.
- Triangles
triangles- Build the grid with triangles.
- Quadrilaterals
quads- Default grid connection - four-sided quadrilaterals.
- Alternating Triangles
alttriangles- Generates triangles that are opposed; similar to the Triangles option.
- Inherit from Source
inheritconnect- When this connectivity option is selected, the output mesh will have the same connectivity as the input hull mesh.
