Advanced Setups 03 - Accessing Geo Attributes In Python / Using potpourri3d (Patreon)

One of the consistently amazing source for new techniques in geometry processing is the research group around Keenan Crane. Not only are their publications exploring robust, stable algorithms to pull off what some describe as magic, they also document their research wonderfully.

Additionally some of their algorithms are now packaged up into an easy to use python library called potpourri3d.

In this video we’ll be using potpourri3d to calculate geodesic distances using the heat method. While doing so, we’ll cover what it takes to access geometry attributes in Houdini’s python node.
