I decided to write some code to manually load wavefront obj file into memory, all the polygon mesh in maya will be triangulated, test whether the error will be happened too.

 

Thanks for your reply.

Note that indexing for OBJ files begins at 1, not zero.  If you're having a memory error.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

 

I foundt the MESH demo made by CGAL developers and researchers, modifyed some code so it can be compiled in VS2005.

 

I found that it can't reading the wavefront obj file I exported from Maya 2008, I checked the ascii file but found no problem. It always shows memory access error. I checked the source code, do not know whether it was caused by my mesh - triangles and quads.

 

Because the polygon mesh maybe not perfect, owns some self intersections, so I also want to know whether CGAL CC could handle it.

 

Thanks !

    I want to know what's the different about Catmull Clark subdivide surface algorithm between the CGAL and the paper from CalTech named " Rapid Evaluation of Catmull-Clark Subdivision Surfaces", anybody could help me ?

The CGAL CC code takes a mesh and modifies it to a new mesh which corresponds to 1 step of CC subdivision. It does so uniformly. A certain version of the CC rules is used.

The rapid evaluation code is based on pre-evaluated (in a texture map) basis functions which are composed (using texture scale/add) at runtime using the original coarsest level control points as weights. No meshes are produced.
