CGAL users discussion list

[Sukhraj Singh <>]

Dear Andreas,

It would be great if you ( or anyone from Geometry Factory) could make a short 101 course on Geometry Processing using CGAL and upload it at YouTube. It will be of great help to everyone.

If you could point to some learning resources for Geometry Processing, that would also nice. Many of us might not be exposed to formal training in this area, it would be beneficial if you guys could provide a list of readings.

Cheers!

Hi, I want to know the procedure of commercial consulting. In my company, we want to make mesh but it has some trouble.

 

How can I do for that?

Hello,

 

GeometryFactory can help you. It will be free to help you to

get the CGAL lib and an example  compiled, as this should be

a piece of cake, and we hope that we can better understand

where one can get stuck.

 

We also offer commercial consulting, but let's take that

discussion off-line.

 

Best,

 

Andreas
