Hello, I want to apply mesh displacement—but not on a photograph—I want to do it on an existing mesh. How can I do this? Is it possible or not , thanks [image]

[image] Laurent Delrieu: it is a pity The points with higher values and lower values are producing different extensions in the Y direction, which is what I was aiming for.- It seems to be working now, thankss [image] [image]

So your input is a mesh with displacement and the target final result is a grayscale image that represent the elevation? Or: [Displacement Textures in Rhino 7]

[image] René Corella: (post deleted by author thanks for messages , There is an RGB mesh with different colours - I want the points to move along the z-axis in proportion to these values - so I was wondering if I could use the existing mesh?

[image] Elvan: o I was wondering if I could use the existing mesh? It is surely possible, extract the color per vertex with deconstruct mesh then do the treatement you need on the color, then move the points of the mesh then construct mesh.

[image] Laurent Delrieu: extract the color per vertex with deconstruct mesh then do the treatement you need on the color, then move the points of the mesh then construct mesh. Thank you. I tried to do what you said, but I ended up using a mesh face to move the points—because I couldn’t select…

[image] Elvan: d, but I ended up using a mesh face to move the points—because I couldn’t select the centre points using the mesh area—and now the points are moving. That’s great. However, how can I create the curve I’ve drawn in red? How can I create an interpolated curve between the points that…

[image] Laurent Delrieu: Your script is quite useless. Ladybug components are not useful. Internalize the mesh. Colored mesh with values.gh (98.1 KB) Sorry , I ınternalise here..

here is a file that, I used Mesh Explode (from plugin MeshEdit) but added a c# that does the same [image] But it is a pity that you didn’t internalize all the useful data. Because here data is coded as color so it must be decoded (loss of precision, error …). Then it is not clear if data is on p…

[image] Laurent Delrieu: But it is a pity that you didn’t internalize all the useful data. Because here data is coded as color so it must be decoded (loss of precision, error …). Then it is not clear if data is on point or faces. here it is indeed on faces. Also output of LadyBug says on vertic…
