Dual contouring #10

Open mikolalysenko opened 9 years ago

wwwtyro commented 7 years ago

Is this issue addressed by http://stack.gl/packages/#mikolalysenko/surface-nets and http://stack.gl/packages/#mikolalysenko/isosurface? (thanks for these by the way, they're awesome)

Nope, he's referring to the dual-contouring technique described in this paper, which is a technique to extract a contour(mesh) from hermite data. isosurface implements some techniques for extracting an isosurface from a potential-function. That's not the same thing as dual-contouring.

mikolalysenko commented 7 years ago

Yeah, though it is closely related to dual contouring. The main thing that dual contouring needs is gradients (aka hermite data). This can be done, but it would require changing the interfaces around a bit.

Ah okay, got it. Thanks for the clarification, guys.
