a killing feature for architectural modelling !, thanks for everyone involved with this project

awesome! cant wait to use it.
keep up! thx

nicholas that is sooo amazing...instant lego building lol.. wow, so impressed by your work

4:10 minecraft modifier! \o/

Clean mesh after Boolean and that granular effects... Outstanding!

I Love Blender and its Developers :-)

Awesome work - thanks to you and Dr Tao Ju!!

Really cool. Though I can't help but wonder about some of those demos at the end. Metaball's meshing is already in a 3D grid that's aligned with the world coordinates. Dr. Ju's algorithm looks like it does exactly the same thing. What noticable difference is there that I'm missing. It was dead obvious in the boolean example though -- that looked great because it was lined up with X/Y/Z so well.

Think about how some modelers like to do humanoids with the arms at 45 degrees versus those who like to put them at zero (straight out on the X axis). The latter (0 deg) would be able to use this well after a sculpt mode or something while the former (45 deg) would get nasty topology. :/

I know you didn't write the functions. It's just something I'm noticing. Your skin modifier for example handles the situation of the topology grid localized to the angle of the form much better.

Wray - you're right that the modifier works best when things are aligned with the world axes.

That said, in the case of metaballs the output of the modifier is noticeably better than plain marching cubes in that there are fewer degenerate polygons and fewer triangles.

O.o

Great job!

O_O amazing.

love it . love blender!

Awesome!!
Goodbye triangles!

Amazing!

!!! amazing!! I hear the trunk calling this patch ;-)....and of course, the ever so awesome Skin Modifier patch. Awesome work!

wow looking awesome. how can i install that script.

wow this can make a spore light modeler ^^

Spore uses a fancy version of meta-balls the some scale controls in between joints, basically it's the attachments to the body that give the most distinguished looks.
You could probably duplicate this to some extent in blender through the use of bones with meta-balls attached.

O_o *integrates in his latest build*

That's amazing :)
By the way, have you seen the article “Harmonic Functions for Quadrilateral Remeshing of Arbitrary Manifolds” by S. Dong, S. Kircher and M. Garland? I hope that may help in some way ^_^

If this is mixed between Bmesh and Unlimite Clay of "ThinkerCode" this could be just like Dynamesh or even better.

Hello Nicholas!
it will be really awesome if this modifier could be "driven" by objects.
What I mean:
I set (for ex.) Empty to "Slice" or "Loop" (the main idea) slot to the Remesh modifier.
Then it will be calculating newly generated loops accordingly to the position and (I hope) the rotation of Control Objects.
Maybe it will allow to set main poly-flows on the newly generated mesh and avoid meshes with multiple short poly-loops (with "Smooth" algorithm).
Can this approach solve some current issues of Remesh?

nice feature
even though i'm using maya now, i love the way how blender is getting better and better

this is cool, from the boolean thing to the lego block style. SUPERB!

an idea: the modifier signs the sharp edges as sharp and crease them to sharp, so we can use this in edge split and subsurf modifiers

I rally want this modifier ^^
