An unusual pfApplication...
Our group recently made a number of high resolution 3D scans
of the outside wrappings of an Egyptian mummy (local museum
and university involved). This will be integrated with 3D models
of the interior that we will be extracting from CAT scan data.
The scans, once joined, created a model of 1 million triangles.
Even on our 16 processor, 5 pipe ONYX Monster this spins
very slow. We can create lower resolution versions of the
mummy, but you lose the fine details of the wrappings.
So... why not make the surface and ASD and fly fast with
high resolution only where you are close? Sounds good.
I have looked at the documentation a few times, looked
at the running ASD example programs and data.
My question is, How do I turn my triangle data file into
the ASD structure needed? The documentation says
that there are modeling tools to do this, but which ones?
I guess the examples and documentation were not enough
for me. I need a bigger hint.
Thanks!
