Self Intersection=False. Impact? #43

Closed vineethbabu closed 5 years ago

I got the whole code to run and obj was generated, but with Self Intersection set to False.

I faced many issues in setting up the PyTorch Mesh package for the versions of other s/w running.

My question is, since am not using Self Intersection, what exactly am i missing out on? How critical is it? otherwise, I have to recreate the whole setup again from scratch.

The mesh intersection option will help you avoid as much as possible results with self intersection problems. Even if you don't use this option, self-intersection might not be a problem for many fittings. However, if for your results, the main source of error is self-intersection, then this is the case where you can benefit the most from this extra term.
