Self Collision mesh

[MehdiZangenehBar]

Is it possible to create a C++ deformer plugin that will correct mesh intersections and prevent them to go inside eachother during skin deformation?

I'm sure it is since it can be done in Bifrost.

Can you deform the mesh trough a cpp deformer plugin? -> Yes
Can you query mesh state in a cpp plugin? -> Yes

The challenge is in implementing such a complex deformer, Maya allows you to deform the mesh, but to implement a volume preserving, correction deformer for arbitrary geometry is a hard problem with active research.

The most battle tested solution for characters its blendshapes with driven keys.

ok guys, I created a complete fast C++ deformer plugin that does entire job perfectly, including self intersection and multi collider detection. works on highresmesh as well, the result is unique, Maya never had that before. I implemented BVH to speed up the ray tracing.
thanks by the way.

Would love to see your results.
