Hello guys!
I would like to propose a way to handle Rhinos CV-heavy geometries, in order to improve surface quality: Match with fall off.
Currently when matching geometries in Rhino, due to the often CV-heavy objects rhino creates, the results will be bumpy, with bad Zebra stripes and low visual appeal, as the match only effects the first 2-3 rows of CVs.
With the new static Zebra command coming to V9, this will be a big problem.
To fix this, matching should be done with a fall off.
Imagine a surface with for example 60 CVs, that you try to match to another surface. The fall off should always apply to half of the CVs. In this example 30 CVs would be moved with fall off, the other half would remain untouched.
This way even geometries with dozens of CVs can be matched to a good quality topology, with nice CV flow and without additional tweaking.
This would just require a check-box (âwith fall offâ) in the match command. The delta of the matched CVs is distributed among the remaining CV with fall off. Checking âpreserve other endâ leaves those CVs alone.
