Getting Started

Installation

The recommended way to install age3d is through pip.

pip install age3d

Usage

Import the library:

import age3d

Import a .stl model where file_path points to the location:

mesh = age3d.import_mesh(file_path)

Erosion

If the mesh is low-poly, run with number_of_subdivisions > 0:

mesh = age3d.mesh_subdivision(mesh, iterations = number_of_subdivisions)

Erode the mesh:

eroded_mesh = age3d.erode(mesh)

If Erosion with customized Passes and Max Particle Lifetime:

updated_vertices, eroded_mesh = age3d.erode(mesh, iterations = 2, erosion_lifetime = 10)

Point Cloud Creation

Make a PointCloud with Red Color Points:

point_cloud = age3d.make_point_cloud(mesh, color = [255, 0, 0])

Visualization

Visualize Eroded Mesh:

eroded_mesh.compute_vertex_normals()
age3d.visualize(eroded_mesh)

or

eroded_mesh.compute_vertex_normals()
age3d.visualize([eroded_mesh])

Visualize Mesh & Point Cloud:

eroded_mesh.compute_vertex_normals()
age3d.visualize([eroded_mesh, point_cloud])

Visualize Mesh & Point Cloud with Wireframe:

eroded_mesh.compute_vertex_normals()
age3d.visualize([eroded_mesh, point_cloud], show_wireframe = True)
