hi ,
i have raw point set. [about an object]. i want generate mesh from this point set.
What's the most efficient method for this ??? how to use cclib for this problem[simple console app, point file in , mesh file out] ?
thnx .....

Hi,
CloudCompare is mainly meant to be used with clouds, the mesh part in general and more especially the meshing algorithms are not very powerfull. In CCLib, the only meshing algorithms available are 2D Delaunay triangulation (either in one default plane (XY,XZ or YZ) or in the least square best-fit plane. Anyway, it's just an encapsulation of the 'triangle' library (so you could directly call it - see http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/triangle.html). Otherwise, a more advanced algorithm is accessible via a plugin (qPoissonRecon) but it's not in CCLib (and once again, it would be faster to call the Misha Kazhdan's Poisson Surface Reconstruction library directly http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~misha/Code/PoissonRecon/).

Hi,
for this use, I recommend you the use of MeshLab which is widely used, albeit buggy, for meshing. MeshLab: meshlab.sourceforge.net/
