Hi,

I was wondering what sort of mesh data structure Houdini uses? I've been using a Half Edge mesh in a Processing project and would like to know if something similar can be used in Houdini. Also where could I find information on this?

Thanks

It can vary but all SOPs pass polygon soups to one another. As an HDK writer, you are free to use any data structure on top of that.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response. You mention the HDK would I be able to use python to create a data structure on top of the polygon soup?

Sure, but then you're limited to the speed of Python so your mileage will vary.
