I tweaked the math to reduce the dependency of the width of the smoothing band on the number of segments by scaling the radius appropriately.
And in the general case, bone placement won't necessarily help you here, because moving a bone closer to some vertices moves it further away from others. So you're always playing a kind of…
Here's an example that demonstrates artifacts from the discontinuities in the mapping
So, like I commented above and in the chat, I implemented a smoothed mapping (with a blend file…
After much experimenting using a shader model, I came up with a smoothing scheme without glitches I think.
…
@Mets Are there more helper functions that might be useful that I'm not thinking of?
I'm not actually sure, I think I need to try adding checks to some addons. Any suggestions of ones with…
And with that kind of information available, a signed-distance-field-esk approach probably has the most potential.
The problem with that kind of thing is how wide to make it without extra…
I wasn't suggesting using the smooth absolute value function—that obviously doesn't apply. It was an example of taking a mapping with a discontinuity (in that case a first derivative…
A trivial example of this kind of "getting rid of discontinuities" approximation is the smooth absolute value function
sqrt(x*x + n), when you want something that approximates an absolute…
- I could be mistaken, but based on your visualizations it looks like the new mapping has singularities that are…
