strands to maya_mesh

[Anonymous]

Is there any way to convert bifrost_strands to maya_mesh?
Experimenting with aero_volumeScope for modelling and need exactly maya_mesh for further texturing. 

bifrostGeoToMaya from bifrostGraph_output doesn't give mesh. Maybe some node for converting strands to "points", thats can be converted to 1) volume - and then 2) mesh?
Or write Strands to Alembic? thats what i'm trying to figure out.

Hi!
I don't know if this node in the MJCG composite package will help you！

Oh man. This is exactly the node I need. Can you post a link to where you downloaded this?

Maximes Compounds are here.

I've download these, but the "create_tubes_from_stands" node does not appear to be among those found in this collection.

This is an old compound that is no longer shipped in the library. Look for "extrude_strands", it does the same thing, but has many more features such as ribbon and custom shape extrusions.

Awesome! Thanks Maxime.
