In the previous post we covered the basics of the half-edge data structure and how to traverse its elements using OpenMesh. This time, we’ll look under the hood of add_face – the function that builds the entire structure on the fly. When you call: mesh.add_face(vh0, vh1, vh2);...

Today, I’d like to dedicate a post to the topic of mesh stitching.Stitching meshes is usually necessary when they contain gaps, cracks, or thin, narrow holes that can be stitched together instead of being filled. Such cracks might appear due to incorrect data conversion or as a result of geometric...

Recently, I had to review code for undo/redo functionality for a half-edge data structure. This made me reflect on how different programmers approach problem-solving, considering the trade-offs between the development costs and the efficiency of the resulting solution. I would like to discuss all...

In this post, I will discuss the process of clipping operations on meshes using the OpenMesh library. For the purpose of this demonstration, we’ll utilize the OpenMesh library to represent our mesh. For those unfamiliar, OpenMesh provides extensive tools for manipulating polygonal meshes. We will...
