Projecting Onto Surface From All Angles - 3ds Max?

Playdo · Feb 2011

I'm looking for a way to project a surface onto another surface from all angles ie. if we have two different size spheres and project one onto the other.

is it baking maps related or just modeling (maybe be more clear on that). This scruot does well when it comes to modeling and you want to project verts on the topology of another:

Yes, it's purely for projecting polys/verts onto another surface. Retopo looks great for what I want, I'll give it a test on Monday.

Do you know how the projection works, would it project along the normal?

You'd shoot a ray from the vertex using the inverse of its normal for the ray direction. get the hit position and move the vert to it.

Cool. Cheers Rob
