Hi Raul, this sounds very good to me. If you have code that you can
walk me through, I can see about converting it to work with the new
PBVH stuff... or however you'd like to proceed with it, really. :)

Thanks,

What I want to propose you is, if you agree, I can help you integrating UnlimitedClay features, since you have done most of the part that was limiting it (handling a dynamic PBVH). of course, I know you are more than capable to get there on your own (you know? when I started the UC project I was never thinking in getting it so far, all I wanted to do was to show a good technical demo to attract your interest as the main Sculpting dev so it would be integrated in Blender successfully as previously I got a great help from Matt Ebb and Jahka for the other projects that started also as technical demos :P ) and I even think it would not be

And I agree that the main limitation can be now the lack of neighborhood information in current Blender mesh data structure, that's why I have put my hopes on Bmesh in the past.
