Hi:
Im afraid its a slow iterative process till we get ther.e At the moment, Im just finished the cleaning algorithms, computeing th tangents of each poin, reprojecting to the denoised surface normals , and decimating the cloud. My next step is to triangulate the cloud, then stl the output. At that point, I think VCarves will load the model and a toolpath can be built. At that point, Ill call MachCloud a done deal.
Its all very nasty math though, so it'll take awhile yet.. But it IS getting better all the time.
The hands above were simply draped in Rhino, no extra cleaning was done in Rhino, so as you can see from the model, the quality is improving quite a bit as I go.. not yet perfect, not as far as preprocessing, I think Im done, now I need to triangulate, then post process
to refinement levels, then Ill be done. Expect it to take a few weeks more anyway..
