<div>I have a 3d shape which as described by bunch of 2d bounding boxes (100,000's). The boxes are divided into planes, maybe 1000-10,000 planes. A single plane might have one bound box, or it might have several with intersect each other. All coordinates are integers in the range 0...12000 or so.</div>
<div><br></div><div>What's the best way to draw this? I want to see it just as a solid surface representing the outter most portion of the boxes, a 3d solid opaque shape.</div><div><br></div><div>Some of my initial thoughts:</div>
<div>1) Convert it to triangles and just draw an unstructured bag of triangles?</div><div>2) Convert it to triangles but decimate/optimize the mesh to eliminate interior triangles?</div><div>3) Use quads instead of triangles?</div>
<div>3) Use vtkImageData instead of triangles?</div><div><br></div><div>I'm completely new to VTK, any pointers at all are welcome.</div><br><div>-Philip</div><br>
