I've been using one of the older implicit surface algorithms, due to Bloomenthal, as found here, basically the tetrahedral-based algorithm. This works fairly well, but has a shortcoming. Since it uses a fixed grid, it either wastes polygons or…

I render isosurfaces with marching cubes, (or perhaps marching squares as this is 2D) and I want to do set operations like set difference, intersection and union. I thought this was easy to implement, by simply choosing between two vertex scalars…

This is a question about the 3D Surface Mesh Generation tool in CGAL. According to the documentation, I need to provide the surface to be meshed in implicit-form as a zero level-set surface. This seems to place a restriction on the input surface to…

I have implemented the algorithm described in http://physbam.stanford.edu/~fedkiw/papers/stanford2001-03.pdf to perform Surface Reconstruction from 3D unorganized data sets (Point Clouds). The main characteristic of this method is to represent a…
