Meshes

The following are meshes that I've made (except two of which were made by Michael Kowalski). They are free to whomever wants them.

The format of all of the files is as follows:

  • Vertex 1 x y z
  • ...
  • Vertex N x y z
  • Face 1 vid1 vid2 ...
  • ...
  • Face NF vid1 vid2 ...

    Note that the faces and vertices are all numbered from 1. I believe there are no gaps in the numbering for any of the meshes. The *_low.m meshes may have 3-7 sided faces in them. The *_hi.m faces should all be triangular. The vertices of the *_low.m meshes will almost always have valence 4.

    The *_hi.m is made from the *_low.m mesh using the manifold process and is approximately what you would get from subdivision. The topology, however, is not subdivision topology. They'll still be fairly regular, though.

    The *.crv file is made from a manifold fitted to the low-res mesh. The file contains not only vertex and face information but analytically calculated curvature, normals, and area. The format of the file is similar to the one listed except the vertex and face keywords are missing, each vertex has the information listed at the top of the file, and the faces are all triangular so the number of sides is not given.

    All of the meshes in a tar'd, g-zipped file.

    All of the curvature files in a tar'd, g-zipped file.
