Objects visualisation

[atpellet]

Hello there,

Is there a way to visualize analytical objects (using houdini) ?

Hey, thanks for your question!
Unfortunately, Matter does not output any object data.
However, you can easily create objects in Houdini for visualization purposes:
For example, you can follow this simple procedure to create a 3D surface with a particular width:

1. Create a geometry node
2. Inside the geometry node, create a mesh using a Grid node
3. Following the Grid node, create an Attribute Wrangle node where you specify the coordinates P.x, P.y and P.z that discretize your object
4. Then use a PolyExtrude to give the 3D surface a width
