Shell

Wanted to share my first compound for Bifrost.

It makes a shell out of any mesh, independent of topology.

Hope it's useful for someone else as well.

Thanks! I'm only just dipping my toes in Bifrost, but it was used on a production so might it might be helpful for others.

I like those compound. Its really cool!

We have a special mesh here that does not work with the Maya extrude thikness.

This mehs does have a different problem with your compound. Maybe there is a way to fix it.?

This mesh is create from a plane but does move some verticies inwards.

I did some more research in other tools. And it looks like everything is correct with your compound.

Nothing to see. Great work!

@Christoph_Schaedl does that mean it working on your mesh?

Yes it does work. I did a comparison with other tools and everything is fine.

The strange shift in the surface is caused by the twist of the plane.
