Mesh Simplification May 2016

78 Go 3D Meshing

Simple command line tool for simplifying meshes in STL format.

This is a straight-forward implementation of Surface Simplification Using Quadric Error Metrics, SIGGRAPH 97, written in Go. Some problematic meshes don't simplify very well, but overall it works nicely. Watch the animation - it iteratively simplifies the mesh by 50% until only 16 faces remain.
