A Bezier patch -is a curved surface defined in terms of 16 control points. -The object is decomposed into triangles for rendering. - -The primary use for this program is to convert the patch data from -http://www.sjbaker.org/teapot/teaset.tgz for the classic 3D teapot, -but it should work on other objects defined as Bezier patches -or triangle meshes. - -The usage for this utility is: - - meshcvt mesh-filename name [depth] - -The data to represent the object will be written to standard output. -The "depth" parameter indicates the recursive depth for sub-dividing -Bezier patches into triangles. The default value is 4. - -The input file format starts with the number of patches. -The following lines contain 16 indices to define a patch. -The indices should be comma-separated. - -Following the index groups is the number of vertices, and then that -many vertex definitions. Each vertex definition consists of three -floating-point values, comma-separated. Three more comma-separated -floating-point values can appear on the line after the vertex -co-ordinates to define a vertex normal. - -The teapot.txt file provides the data for the classic 3D teapot -from the above URL as an example of what a Bezier patch definition -file looks like. The above URL also has Bezier patch data for a -teacup and a teaspoon, to complete your tea service. |
