Module Description
Program title | Grayscale Model Maker |
Program description |
Create 3D surface models from grayscale data. This module uses Marching Cubes to create an isosurface at a given threshold. The resulting surface consists of triangles that separate a volume into regions below and above the threshold. The resulting surface can be smoothed and decimated. This module works on continuous data while the module Model Maker works on labeled (or discrete) data.
