Hi there,

I''m currently using the 3D alpha shape triangulation package in CGAL to do mesh generation for point clouds. However alpha shapes don't seem to deal with concave surfaces or large abrupt concave angle changes in a visually pleasing manner.

I've come across several commercial packages that seem to do this but nothing thats freely available. I was wondering if there are any plans to implement other meshing algorithims for point clouds rather than just Delaunay and Alpha in CGAL or if anyone knows of another free/open source package that has implemented slightly more robust point cloud meshing.

Thanks
Andrew
