[SOLVED] How to learn mesh editing programming?

[Wong]

Hello,

In using Sofa, I feel that I need to learning some knowledge about mesh editing programming for our project, for instance, picking, adding/deleting patch elements, extruding the polygons, smoothing and FFD(like the modifiers of 3ds max).

So I want to know if there are some open source examples or pertinent libraries to help implement these functionalities and have a nice introduction(not necessarily in Sofa platform).

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Wong,

This is indeed not directly related to SOFA.
For mesh editing, you have several options:
– Blender : complicated but powerful
– MeshLab : simple but not always very stable, but it’s good
– Paraview : more for visualisation but allows for some modifications of the mesh
– GMesh : is a mesh creator and editor

That’s the one I know, hope this helps.
But let us know if you find anything else, let us know.

Cheers,

Hugo
