|
The *Dual Mesh Node* converts a mesh into its dual, i.e. faces are turned into
|
|
vertices and vertices are turned into faces. This also means that attributes
|
|
which were on the face domain are transferred to the point domain in the dual mesh.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
The Dual Mesh node only works on manifold geometry. To work with non-manifold geometry
|
|
it's best to remesh the geometry first.

Inputs
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Mesh
|
|
Standard geometry input.
|
|
|
|
Keep Boundaries
|
|
Keeps the non-manifold boundaries of the input mesh in place, by creating
|
|
extra geometry, and avoiding the dual mesh transformation there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Properties
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
This node has no properties.
|

|
Output
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Dual Mesh
|
|
Standard geometry output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The *Dual Mesh Node* combines nicely with triangulated meshes. In this case
|
|
an Ico Sphere is used, which is made up of nice and evenly spaced triangles.
