Hi,

Is there a way to remesh a geometry so that the faces are parallelogram instead of triangles or hexagons - via compute dual -?

I have attached an architectural example: Cooper Union by Morphosis.

Thanks,

Levent

see attached,
you can dissolve rows after a divide, but it needs clean geo (not turbosquid)… so probably best to model from scratch.

Hey cpb,

thanks for the file! Do you happen to know if that is still possible with the newer polybevel node?

I checked your file and the python shell shows me that your polybevel is just a "polybevel" but when creating a polybevel node myself it is a "polybevel::3.0" with completely different parameters.

I guess I could just make a small shelf tool to create the old bevel but would be curious how to accomplish this result with newer Houdini versions.

EDIT: I actually didn't figure out how to create the old bevel via Python. It always creates the new one :/

If anyone else knows it, feel free to share ^^

Take care,
Dziga
