REPLICATION OF MODEL

Further Exploration Of Porosity

METHODOLOGY:

HOUDINI: /VDBFROMPOLYGONS/SCATTERPTS/ CONNECTADJACENTPTS/WIREFRAME/ VDBSMOOTH(OPERATION/

USING THE EXTRACTED NEGATIVE FORM (DECAY 1.6), THE BIOTYPE'S MAIN ATTRIBUTE, POROSITY, IS FURTHER EXPLORED.

VARIABLE:

CONNECTING ADJACENT POINTS: MAX SEARCH POINTS /VDBFROMPOLYGONS/ TRANSFORM DECAY1.6 MODEL INTO VDBFOG

PROCESS:

/SCATTER/ 150 POINTS ARE SCATTERED INTO THE VDBFOG /CONNECTADJACENTPIECES/ SCATTERED POINTS ARE CONNECTED AT A CERTAIN SEARCH RADIUS TO CREATE A MATRIX

/WIREFRAME/ LINES ARE TRANSFORMED INTO WIREFRAMES WITH A RADIUS OF 0.15 TO CREATE FORM

/VDBFROMPOLYGONS/ WIREFRAMES ARE TURNED INTO A VDB TO CREATE ORGANIC FORMS FURTHER REPLICATING THE BONE MATRIX

DECREASING THE SEARCH POINTS AT EVERY STAGE RESULTS IN THE THINNING OF THE MATRIX. POROSITY EXPLORED IN PROJECT ONE IS FURTHER EXPLORED IN THIS SERIES BY HAVING A CLEAR REPRESENTATION OF THE REDUCTION OF DENSITY IN THE BONE MATRIX.

DECAY 2.4 WILL BE USED ONWARDS TO REPRESENT A BONE CATEGORISED AS AT RISK OF OSTEOPOROSIS AND TEST VARIABLES THAT WILL FURTHER THE REDUCTION OF MASS.
