Basic Coord.Object

Volume Mesher

This Generator can be used to convert Voxels back to polygons. The following objects can be made Child objects of it:

Volume Builder
Volume Set
Volume Object
Volume Loader

How can Voxels be converted back to polygons?

As described under Volume Type, each Voxel has its own value. Simply put, the Volume Mesher does nothing other than create a polygon surface that runs through Voxels with the same value (this is an absolute value, defined by the Surface Threshold setting).

The Volume Mesher’s resolution depends on the size of the Voxels (corresponds to the Volume Builder’s Voxel Size setting).

Note:
Note also the Remesh objekt, which can be used to generate homogenous, more-or-less square polygons from any mesh.
