Hey, Fredo, a little theoretical question about terrain generation from point cloud:
What was the mathematical foundation for the terrain mesh upsampling / interpolation algorithm? I mean the tool which increases the mesh density and smooths it, preserving the exact positions of input vertices, as we add iterations. Was it the butterfly subdivision algorithm? Have you used any specific paper to create this tool, or did you come up with the meshing algorithm yourself? I'm asking because I'm looking for something similar for Blender. I know, however, that butterfly subdivision is available in MeshLab, and it does more-less what Topo Shaper does. Besides that, I'm really just curious. -
It's home made. I wrote it long time ago, but I remember that for the interpolation, I did not find anything suitable and usable for my level of math in the literature.
For the upsampling of the triangulation, I remember that I tried the Steiner refinement approach, but it did not work well for what I wanted to do. So, I built my own method.
I was not familiar with the butterfly subdivision algorithm and still am not. Maybe it is a more conventional approach.

Hi, can you tell me whether we can use toposhaper for a terrain that uses both contours and cloud points (spot levels) together?
-
No. At the moment, it is isocontours OR cloud points. You can simulate a few cloud points by small circular contours.

Thanks Fredo6
-
@fredo6 It's a late reply from me, but thanks for the explanation. I'm honestly impressed you built the algorithm from scratch!
