Acropora can also be used to test and develop procedural surfaces, that are later applied in shaders for mesh generation in hardware.

In addition to applying global modifiers the user can create localised regions or volumes, operating in tandem or independent of other regions. GPU support provides realtime response to volume editing. Acropora automatically takes care of alignment, ensuring smooth seams between adjacent meshes. Mesh operations can be carried out globally on the entire mesh or on selected/activated blocks. Density function evaluation is numerically intensive therefore, the volume is often broken down into blocks. Once the iso-surface is extracted the user can smoothen, tesselate, optimise or filter the resulting mesh. Mesh generation begins with a base geometry and combines complex noise sampling with user-specified shape modifiers to generate a unique density field, which is then “marched” to generate a surface that becomes the solution mesh. Multithreaded CPU support and GPU acceleration (on supported cards) Mesh decimation, smoothing and tesselation.įX effect file support and multitexturing Intuitive editing and manipulation of very large meshes User-specified volume block and voxel dimensions.Īutomatic generation of up to 15 octaves of noise (user-programmable settings include orientation, strength, quality, frequency, phase, and range of influence) Voxelisation of user imported models (.3DS. Meshes can then be broken up into segments, with segments further divided into different levels of details.Ī variety of base shapes including sphere, plane, cylinder, torus and others.Ĭompound shapes (heightmaps, pillars, caves, weaves) The resulting meshes contain caves, ridges, overhangs and other natural features that are not possible with height maps. The effect is to create an endless, seamless expanse of surface that undulates and changes in a natural way. Acropora adopts a less deterministic approach to generating complex, organic shapes by applying sequences of modifiers on large voxelized meshes. The resulting mesh can then be retopologized via surface operators (tesselation, smoothing, optimisation.).Ī procedural modeler, Acropora combines volumetric modifiers with multi-octave 3D noise sampling to generate detailed surfaces in far less time than conventional surface modeling software. Acropora takes user imported models or user specified primitives and modifies them spatially via volumetric noise modifiers, geometric modifiers and warps.

I will be offline shortly (it is late in the UK) but can pick up any questions tomorrow.Voxelogic is developing a voxel-based mesh modeller called Acropora. the centre roof shade needs a bit more with a light brush on low opacity to get it to blend, but this should get you on the right path I have done a quick and dirty example below - which still needs some work, to blend fully - e.g. You can use the healing brush onto a new layer to get rid of the old bars. The white centre can be copied from one of the others and simply stretched to fit the bigger gap.įor the roofbars - copy them onto new layers by selecting each - then transform them to fit the correct perspective. By using vanishing point the cloning will stay in perspective. The tools that will be your friends in this are layers, the vanishing point filter and the clone stamp tool.įor the floor area use the vanishing point filter and clone within the filter to address the centre diagonals and the fall off of the shadows. two vanishing points) this shows on the floor and especially on the roof bars.Ī centre floor area with diagonals that crashĪ centre area that needs cleaning up as it seems to show a third perspective.
