Set an object to its UV flatten shape

TasticAd — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 12:43:59 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm quite new to Bifrost but pretty sure this is a possible thing to realise within it (hopefully it is)

Like the title says I'm trying to unwrap an object to its UV shape 👨‍🔧

My first approch would be to get the geo's face_vertex_uv property but then can't figure yet what should be used between the get_geo_property and set_geo_property nodes... Any hint would be appreciated 😊

I made a compound for this a while ago, you can have a look inside to learn how to create the flattened shape from the mesh's uv properties.

Cheers

Thanks mjcg, that's a nice compound!

I managed to find a solution for my needs, I actually wanted to create a transition animation like so:

I could in fact export the mesh as flatten for this particular model. Then I used a linear_interpolation between the to meshes point_positions.
I will have a look further into you great compound and see if I can do the same with other kind of models (if it keeps the same vertices order, it would be great!)

hi,

is it possible the other way around?
Basically going from a flattened mesh to actually create UVs to feed another mesh
