User Guide

Neuron generator is a small Maya plug-in that allows user to create neuron web, neuron nodes, and constrain them together for further animation usage.

Function 01: Generate neuron web

This function would randomly take two vertices on the target mesh and make a straight curve between them. User has to select at least two meshes to use this function. The generated curves are non repeating. If the curve number assigned is larger than the maximum curves number the target mesh could have, it would only reach that maximum number.

Function 02: Generate neuron nodes

This function would generate neuron nodes on top of the target mesh. User has to select at least two meshes to use this function. The first one would be the target mesh, and the rest of selection would be the nodes. The nodes would be be randomly selected and matched to the target mesh vertices.

Function 03: Bind neuron web and nodes

This function would constrain the endpoints of generated curves to the neuron nodes.
By doing this, when user moves or animates their neuron nodes, the curves would follow them directly.
