Modifiers: Solidify add option to assign shell geometry to selected vertex group Authored by Cody Winchester (CodyWinch) on Feb 21 2020, 4:50 AM.
Details This patch gives the solidify modifier the ability to assign the newly created shell geometry to a selected vertex group. This expands the procedural control over the modifier stack by letting users apply modifiers to the shell geometry without affecting the original geometry. This will be especially helpful for NPR users that use solidify to create backface culling lines on their characters giving them the ability to add displace noise and other effects.
Diff Detail
Event TimelineComment Actions Cleaned up the naming of the properties so they are more consistent and made the tooltip clearer on what it does. Comment Actions Generally looks fine, but shouldn't we offer the option for rim and back separately then (like we do with material index offsets)? Also, quid of the 'complex' option? Any reason not to implement that for that algorithm as well, since it already also supports rim & back material offsets?
Comment Actions I can add in a rim output group as well. I attempted to add it to the complex option, but ran into incorrect results. It looked to me like the geometry wasn't preserving the original indeces, but that may have just been my inexperience with that option. So I thought it would be best to submit it separately. I will look into it again. Comment Actions Updated to reflect notes.
Comment Actions LGTM in general, besides changes suggested in comments (thanks to super recent vgroup API revamp I guess)
