VTK – Increase Density For Model By Add Edge Points
Here is a way to remesh 3D model, for every edge we can add a few points on it and create new small cells. The old big triangle will be removed from the model.

VTK – Delete Cells And Create Model Without Invalid Points
Generate a new polyData which has not invalid point. We have to colloct the points that are used by cells and update the point ids in the cell lists. I used binary search algorithm to speed up the process.

VTK – Remesh Model By Flip Operation
We have to find all edges and judge whether the point is in the circumscribed sphere of another three points, the target edge is used by two cells, it has only one neighbor cell in the other words. Finally, flip the cells as the above image.

VTK: Cut Model By Surface And Increase Density
But the result of the cutting is not particularly idealistic.
So we have to increase density necessarily.
The left one is the low density model, the right attachment model has higher density in the following image.

ParaView: Show Cells’ Normals
The post shows how to display the normals of cells on the 3D model by ParaView.
The general steps are in the demo video.
1. Clip model for better watching
2. Add normals filter
3. Show wireframe for better watching

Change Density Of 3D Model By MeshMixer
Here is a video to show how to change the density of model by MeshMixer, then compare the new model and old model in ParaView. The general steps are in the following part.

Convert Length Between Coordinate System, Rotate Vector, And Mark Position
The article shows a few tips in VTK development. There are simple tasks for most developers but the functions can be used in many situations. Convert the length value in the display coordinate system to the new value in the world coordinate system. double DisplayLenToWorldLen(const double &length) { Point p0( Read more…

Fonts In Page Create 3D Text
We can generate different 3D models of string in the page Create 3D Text. All fonts are free for individuals and business use. They come from the website https://ziyouziti.com. You can visit it if you are interested in these fonts. I will display the general effect of these fonts in Read more…
