Creating Mesh Volume

Nice to have a great community to gather better ideas and workflows.

Definitely, this forum is awesome

i’ve been trying to find a thread on the GH mesh thing I saw recently. When I find it I’ll link it.

I think a key word is ‘Delaunay’…

@theoutside

shrinkwrapped for extra meshiness-

I’m glad @theoutside mentioned ‘shrinkwrap’ another awesome tool so amazing!

@lander

I think there’s probably lots of stuff you can do with Grasshopper too in the regard of this composure.

This thread so awesome!:

Introducing TriRemesh - high quality triangular and hexagonal remeshing and shrink wrapping

Happy New Year everyone! Wishing all of you and your families a healthy and joyful 2021 I’m pleased to share a new tool for fast and robust generation of high quality isotropic triangular meshes (and their duals) from a Brep or mesh input. The resulting meshes consist of triangles with similar edge lengths, angles and areas.

An interesting post in that thread:

Introducing TriRemesh - high quality triangular and hexagonal remeshing and shrink wrapping

One other thing I didn’t mention yet - When wrapping onto open meshes, small holes in the target should get covered smoothly, but for large openings, the wrapped mesh will generally have lower triangle quality on the ‘floating’ parts which are not in contact with the target. The aim is to improve this in the future, but currently you might want to do a second remeshing pass after the first wrapping (or alternatively use FillMeshHoles on the input first to fix the holes in the target as much as…

I still have lots to learn about the grasshopper approach but I think it’s got tremendous potential with mesh work – from what I’ve seen in this forum, compared to what I’ve done in other reverse engineering type programs.
