Hey all,
is there a way to sub divide an object based on a black and white texture?

to give a little context to this, what i want to do is create brick shaped polygons on an object, most of the examples on the net
seems to deal with a simple grid(such as http://www.tokeru.com/cgwiki/?title=Houdini#Voronoi_cluster_and_fracture)

thank you in advance

Have a look at these tutorials [www.sidefx.com], particularly the Modelling the panel section. I'm not sure if they'll do exactly what you want but they deal with using textures (Photoshop files in this case) to modify geometry.

Hope this helps, Gray

Hey jdgayan,

maybe you can also approach this from a different angle.
Take a look at the game dev detail mesh:
