Hi Erik,
From what I understand you have a function generating a z value for x,y
pairs. So basically you simply have to sample your function in regular
distances to get the triangle coordinates.
If you already have the sampled points without further information you
need to use the delaunay triangulation. IIRC, If it is a function the
folding should not be problem for the delaunay algorithm, so I don't
know if Roberts comment might be misleading.
Cheers
Sebastian
Thanks for the response Robert!
So, does that mean that there is no way to do what I want without somehow
determining the coordinates of every individual triangle? And there's not even
any way to do a 3D tessellation to get such triangle coordinates? :'

Hi Erik,
The OSG has the osgUtil::DelaunayTriangulator and the GLU based
osgUtil::Tessellator can be used for tessellating meshes, but both utilize a 2D
projection to a plan to work out the connectivity so aren't appropriate for
meshes that will be folded.

Hi everyone!
I have a collection of Vec3 vertices that define the shape of a geometry that
I'd like to create. Typically I would create the geometry by adding a primitive
set of the POLYGON type, but what should I do if the vertices are not all in
the same plane?
I'm sure this is a very common task and that there's probably a simple way to
achieve this. What is the best basic approach to creating such a geometry?
Ideally I'd like to be able to do this without having to choose the individual
triangles or quads that will make up the entire geometry. For example, if I
wanted to model any generic three-dimensional surface and all I had was a large
sample of points on the surface.
In case I'm not doing a good job explaining what I need, I've attached an image
- let's say I had many points on the surface of that shape and I need to make a
geometry that depicts it. How would I do this?
Thanks in advance for your help![/img]
