💡💡💡 We also have 3D version of "TriWild" - TetWild! It's the parent of TriWild. TetWild can generate linear tetrahedral meshes robustly and automatically. Check it out 👉 TetWild.

💡💡💡 If you are interested in the algorithm details, please refer to our paper first. We provide plenty of examples and statistics in the paper.

💡💡💡Quickly try TriWild on some small exmaples here!!

Input: 19686 meshes (.obj) each with a curved feature file (.json)

(For your reference, here is original 20k SVG images. Those with animation are not converted to obj/json.)

Output with curved constrains: 19685 meshes (.msh)

Output with linear constrains(todo James): 19686 meshes (.msh)

You can use TriWild either by pulling a Docker image or compiling the source code with CMake.

Install Docker and run Docker. Pull TetWild Docker image and run the binary:

docker pull yixinhu/triwild
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/data yixinhu/triwild /app/TriWild/build/TriWild [TriWild arguments]

Our code was originally developed on MacOS and has been tested on Linux and Windows. We provide the commands for installing TriWild in Unix OS:

• Clone the repository into your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/wildmeshing/TriWild

• Compile the code using cmake (default in Release mode):

cd TriWild
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j

• Check the installation:

./TriWild --help

This command should show a list of TriWild parameters.

Input：

• Linear constraints (required): segment soup in .obj format.

• Curved constraints: Bezier curves in .json format.

Output: Linear/high-order triangle mesh in .msh format.

Please check dataset above for examples.

You can try TriWIld quickly with default parameters by running

./TriWild --input input.obj

for linear constrains, or

./TriWild --input input.obj --feature-input input.json

for curved constrains.
