I do wonder what progress has been made since and when this sort of capability will be made available?
agree that what we are talking about here is a discussion of repeatable workflow to move between coordinate systems,
in a reliable way with predictable results,
whilie preserving the detail of the original input.
This is the only discussion I have seen so far that really identifies these topics in a deliberate way.
I think your constraints are slightly different from mine, in that you expect the results to be measurably consistent in a way that I may not entirely need,
but that just hightlights that the workflow needs to satisfy the needs of a wide variety of use cases,
some of which require measurable and meaningful consistency of resulting artifacts across transition events,
and others which require that the essential detail (loose term I know) of the original to be preserved.
Not really clear to me where we go from here as :
- you have said that the free software path does not support the workflows required well or at all (I do not understand why not? are there IP / SW patent constraints or some other reason?)
- A//Desk has not yet released the mesh workspace update ,so we do not know what will be in it beyond hints, and we do not know when it will become available
- we do not know what the impact of the A/Desk Mesh workspace will be on the other tools like MeshMixer etc that A/Desk offer
is it useful to detail the free (meshmixer -> memento -> Fusion ) and non-free ( Maya SubD -> Maya Nurbs -> Fusion) paths and their steps, so at least we the alternatives are clearly defined?
could we set up an automated service that provided access to the non-free path to people who cannot afford the SW?
sort of not in my character to do nothing in a siutation like this, but not sure it makes sense to do anything to generate an interim solution...
what do you think?
