[scilab-Users] creating a 3d plot please help

[Pierre JUILLARD]

Hi Stephens,


I can't readily tell how to do in Scilab, but I think you miss a problem (or
maybe it's me...).

The thing is, your example shows a point cloud, not a mesh: you can't
directly get a surface from a point cloud...
How would Scilab or any other software know how to link the correct set of
points between themselves?

However, if your point cloud is one that would correspond to a "relatively
flat" shell mesh (in the sense it's not a compact ball of points everywhere
for instance...), you can use Delaunay3D meshing to have a triangular mesh
corresponding to a surface.

I did a similar thing with ParaView from 3D scans. I wrote the coordinates
in a file understandable by ParaView (csv I think to remember), then I used
the Delaunay3D filter available.
It worked rather well.


Hope I help.

Pierre
