Hi Tom >These are 'retopology tools' the flow of the underlying surface is >known and can be sampled.
so concerning quad rmeshing - your first objection >I don't think the quad dominant remeshing is likely to provide much >similar tools or code at all. it is what ronih did not finish but intended to do - to sketch above mesh then to quad dominant remesh it. the approach he used - allows such features. the same goes for dual contouring - it might work not on whole mesh but will reconstruct surface on given border and given mesh. > No inferences about the 3d location of the mesh needs to be made, also > the first paper you linked was about constructing 3d from 2d from a > single view. The second paper was about infering 3d form from > multiple orthographic drawings. Neither of which are anything at all > related to retopology tools. the papers are long they end up with filling the reconstructed 3D with triangles - and there is need to have algo for that in addition to quad dominant remeshing tetgen goes here.
