ConvolutionSurface

Java Implementation of convolution primitives from "Creating and Rendering Convolution Surfaces" (1997), by Jon McCormack and Andrei Sheerstyuk. Currently only the only primitives supported are line segments and triangles.

Includes functions for:

• Generating scalar fields from list of primitives
• Generating triangles from scalar fields using marching cubes

Example:

ArrayList<Primitive> prims = new ArrayList<>();
prims.add( new LineSegment( new Vector( 0, 0, 0 ), new Vector( 1, 1, 1 ), 10f ) );
Field field = FieldGenerator.getField( prims, new Vector( -1, -1, -1 ), new Vector( 2, 2, 2 ), .02f );

MarchingCubesPolygonizer mcp = new MarchingCubesPolygonizer();
ArrayList<Triangle> tris = mcp.polygonize( field, .1f );
