Roadmap

List of references and related projects

Document hierarchy

• Basic Mesh topology with generic traits
• Specialized to geometry support with IPoint / IPoint3D etc.
• Realizations in terms trait classes implementing WPF / SharpDX primitives, with extra information (colour / material / normals etc.)
• Efficient storage and extra data storage for indexed access, e.g. octree index.
• Things that are not generic: doubles for geometry storage, storage structure (we might change internally but we don't need to support plug-in storage)

Simple WPF 3D mesh viewer based on Helix 3D Toolkit

Import / export of meshes

• file format(s)?

Basic mesh creation

• MeshGeometry3D
• Surface from 3D Points (+ Triangle.NET?)

Basic surface mesh processing

• Interpolation (& some extrapolation?)
• Collapse small triangles (rule for updating traits? / rule for re-triangulation?)
• Insert extra points (rule for updating traits? / rule for re-triangulation?)
• Low pass / spike filter
• Identify smoothing groups and creases on the surface
• Resampling to regular grid

Normals

Polyhedron

• Consistency checks and mesh repair
• CSG operations on polyhedra - IsInside, Union, Intersection, Inversion etc.

MeshBuilders

• Primitives
• Extrusion

RobustGeometry.SharpDX

• Proof of concept to ensure geometry processing can be shared by .Wpf and .SharpDX
• Either allow viewer to switch between Wpf3D and SharpDX, or make separate projects.
