Feature request: 3D Skin Surface Meshing
hyunjinku opened this issue · comments
Dear authors/developers of pymeshlab,
If your time is available, I want to request a 3D mesh feature, skin surface meshing.
It is from CGAL library https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Skin_surface_3/index.html#Chapter_3D_Skin_Surface_Meshing.
For now, I mimic the behavior with alpha wrap (with minimum offset and alpha factors).
My usage example is:
When there're thousands of molecule meshes (sphere meshes),
I just want the meshes' surface meshes to reduce the data size and for computational efficiency.
So I used alpha wrap for the purpose.
But skin surface meshing would achieve the purpose with minimum changes from the original shape/volume (alpha wrap needs offset_fraction>0).
It would be greatly appreciated if skin surface meshing is integrated to pymeshlab!
Thanks!
Jin
