help with fur baking

by "Ali Hamdan" <ali@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 26, 2007 at 07:23 PM

Hi all,

I was trying to bake fur information (like furlength, furdirection, etc.)
on 
the underlying polymesh (according to it's "st").

I came with the (classical) idea of lauching rays from the polymesh and 
gathering the fur informations
with the gather command : gather("", P, Nn, 0, 1, "surface:furdirection", 
furdir, "surface:furlength", furlgt...)

Nevertheless, in order to have proper and non-aliased baking, I'm trying
to 
render the polymesh like a flat object
juste like described in J.Litt and D.Goldman's BakeOven RAT Trick :
http://www.cs.wa****ngton.edu/homes/dgoldman/ezbake/EZ_Bake_Oven.htm

I clearly got the idea of shading the points describing the original 3D 
surface (Pref) and rendering the points with the P(s,t,0) coordinates
(flat 
object).
But as one point can have more than one "st" coord,  how should I replace 
the P points in the rib ?

the normal rib is like this (cube) :
PointsGeneralPolygons
[ 1 1 1 1 1 1 ]
[ 4 4 4 4 4 4 ]
[ 2 3 1 0 4 5 3 2 6 7 5 4 0 1 7 6 3 5 7 1 4 2 0 6 ]
"vertex point P" [ -0.5 -0.5 0.5   0.5 -0.5 0.5   -0.5 0.5 0.5   0.5 0.5
0.5
     -0.5 0.5 -0.5   0.5 0.5 -0.5   -0.5 -0.5 -0.5   0.5 -0.5 -0.5 ]
"facevarying float[2] st" [ 0.375 0.75 0.625 0.75 0.625 1 0.375 1 0.375
0.5 
0.625 0.5
0.625 0.75 0.375 0.75 0.375 0.25 0.625 0.25 0.625 0.5 0.375 0.5
0.375 0 0.625 0 0.625 0.25 0.375 0.25 0.625 0.75 0.875 0.75
     0.875 1 0.625 1 0.125 0.75 0.375 0.75 0.375 1 0.125 1 ]
