pyacvd 0.2.0

Uniformly remeshes surface meshes

This module takes a surface mesh and returns a uniformly meshed surface using voronoi clustering. This approach is loosely based on research by S. Valette, and J. M. Chassery in ACVD.

Installation

Installation is straightforward using pip:

$ pip install pyacvd

Example

This example remeshes a non-uniform quad mesh into a uniform triangular mesh.

from pyvista import examples
import pyacvd

# download cow mesh
cow = examples.download_cow()

# plot original mesh
cow.plot(show_edges=True, color='w')

# mesh is not dense enough for uniform remeshing
# must be an all triangular mesh to sub-divide
cow.tri_filter(inplace=True)
cow.subdivide(4, inplace=True)

clus = pyacvd.Clustering(cow)
clus.cluster(20000)

# plot clustered cow mesh
clus.plot()

# remesh
remesh = clus.create_mesh()

# plot uniformly remeshed cow
remesh.plot(color='w', show_edges=True)
