PH SCRIPT 013 – SURFACE BRIDGE MESH
PURPOSE
Make a connected mesh from two NURBS surfaces with sculpted bridge tunnels.
Choose random placement or draw lines to place and pair tunnel entrances.
INPUTS
Surface A / Surface B: Two untrimmed, four-sided surface patches with
matching overall proportions and corresponding corners.
Bridge Lines: Optional straight lines spanning Surface A to Surface B.
Each endpoint sets one opening center; the line pairs those two openings.
Either line direction works. Empty = random mode.
Bridges: Number of tunnels in random mode, 1 to 10. Ignored with lines.
Opening Size: Diameter and spacing of the openings, 0.5 to 2.0.
Bridge Shift: 0 pairs opposite openings; 1 allows strong diagonal connections
between openings at different heights. Random mode only.
Seed: Change the random arrangement. Random mode only.
OUTPUTS
Bridge Mesh: One connected quad mesh with matching openings on both sheets.
Outer Edges: The two original outer boundaries, retained as naked mesh edges.
Opening Edges: Closed curves at both ends of every tunnel; useful as feature curves when remeshing.
Status: Actual count and diagnostic information.
NOTES
– The outer edges stay open so the mesh can be used as interior architecture.
– The tunnel and sheet vertices share indices; no overlapping duplicate faces.
– Surfaces are matched by their four corners, including flipped UV directions.
– Line endpoints project to the surfaces and snap to the nearest mesh grid cell.
– Lines too close to an outer edge, another opening or another tunnel are skipped.
– Inspect strongly folded surfaces and crossing or crowded lines.
– Trimmed surfaces, mismatched topology and intersecting sheets are unsupported.
– Use Outer Edges and Opening Edges as guides in your downstream remesh.
