Mesh Process Node

Often, polygon meshes contain sparse points, relying more on polygons to represent surfaces. The Mesh Process Node processes an input polygon mesh and generates a point cloud that can be used for finding model features.

Two process types are available: * Generate Cloud: Generates a dense cloud of the mesh’s surface * Generate Edge: Generates a point cloud with the mesh’s edges

Input

  • Model Mesh: A polygon mesh

Output

  • cloud: point cloud or edge cloud converted from polygon mesh

  • mass center: mass center of the result point cloud
