csprance / barycentric_coordinates.c
Created February 9, 2021 01:53
How to calculate barycentric coordinates in houdini using vex given 3 points making up a triangle and a point p we want to get the coordinates for
// This is the point we want to find barycentric coordinates of
vector p = point(0, "P", 3);
// These are the vertices of the main triangle we want to find coordinates for
vector v1 = point(0, "P", 0),
v2 = point(0, "P", 1),
v3 = point(0, "P", 2);
// Edge Vectors of the main triangle
vector e1 = v3 - v2,

My name is Chris Sprance. I am an artist, programmer, maker, and man of many hats. Proficient in the next-gen game art workflow with a deep understanding of the technical and procedural content pipeline including the constraints that revolve around games and real-time content. With over 13+ years of experience working in the AAA and indie games industry I've been a part of a lot of problem solving and enjoyed every second of it!
