<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi All,<BR>
<BR>
I have been using VTK to work with 3D triangle based models.In literature, I have come across terms "point-based models" or "point-sampled geometry" where surface is described by a set of sample points without any further topological information.Is it the raw range data received from 3D scanners or something different.<BR>
<BR>
my Questions:<BR>
<BR>
1. Does VTK have support (reader,writer etc.) for this representation of 3D surfaces.<BR>
2. Which file formats are used normally for representing point-sampled geometry. Do we use same formats as .vtp,.ply etc.<BR>
3. Can somebody point out to some models in point-sampled geomtry?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Best Regards,<BR>
