Branching meshes

Posted in Uncategorized by nielsmartin on August 23, 2010

The experiment is an attempt to develop methods for creating meshes that have complex morphologies. In this case the idea is to generate consistent meshes that both branches and joins with each other becoming one big complex mesh. An image generating algorithm developed in Processing creates a row of sections. The sections are resolved into one big mesh through isosurfacing, which means that the images are interpreted as a sequence of intersections through consistent volumes, like scans of internal organs in a human body.
