Direct Modeling 1.5 For Houdini|Houdini硬面建模插件

DM is a toolkit for procedural and direct modeling in SideFX Houdini.

DM是SideFX Houdini中用于程序和直接建模的工具包。Direct Modeling HDA，已经升级到1.5版本的插件由4部分组成.

1.SoftBoolean的工具集

• 它是早期可根据布尔运算实现程序性建模的工具Flux的进化版，而且从soft+boolean的名字上就能看的出来，工具集可以在运算对象之间实现柔和过渡。

2.Geometry Library

• 用户可以通过它来创建几何数据目录，无需单独创建文件。

3.InserMesh

• 和Polystein相类似，用户可以在模型的任何一个部分嵌入几何体来进行kitbash。

4.添加了包含经典多边形建模工具的模型师模式

DM 1.5 release

1. Modeler mode

Modeler is a standalone modeling environment which allows you to use classic mesh modeling tools.

2. Soft Boolean toolset

Soft Boolean is an evolution of the Flux toolset for Houdini. Soft Boolean can create procedural models using boolean operations, but unlike the standard Boolean SOP, it creates soft transition between the cutter and the main geometry.

3. Geometry Library

Geometry Library allows you to catalog geometric data without saving them into separate files. This allows you to create different versions of models or use pieces of geometry to build more complex models (kitbashing). You can create subfolders in the Geometry Library and view the model as an icon which you can control for each model.

4. Insert Mesh

Insert Mesh is a node for embedding pieces of geometry in any place of the model. You can use this node in the node tree procedurally. But the main feature is using Insert Mesh in conjunction with the Geometry Library. That means you can create your own sets of geometry parts in the Geometry Library and embed them later in your model using Insert Mesh technology.
