Surface mapper
The surface mapper standalone tool can be used to generate a mapping image for material casting between two arbitrary geometries.
The Surface mapper will generate a MappingImage between two 3D objects.
The normals of the target mesh (or an overridden search direction) is used to define a search direction. It will search for the original mesh along the search direction and map it onto the surface of the target mesh and write the result to a MappingImage.
Once a MappingImage has been generated, materials and data can then be transferred from one mesh to another using the Material casters.
Usage
The SurfaceMapper can be used through the following entry points:
