An interview discussing this technique and more\nrecent projects is available [here](https://www.foundry.com/trends/design-visualisation/mitsuba-renderer-instant-meshes).\n\n## Screenshot\n\n![Instant Meshes logo](https://github.com/wjakob/instant-meshes/raw/master/resources/screenshot.jpg)\n\n## Pre-compiled binaries\n\nThe following binaries (Intel, 64 bit) are automatically generated from the latest GitHub revision.\n\n\u003e [Microsoft Windows](https://instant-meshes.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Release/instant-meshes-windows.zip)\u003cbr/\u003e\n\u003e [Mac OS X](https://instant-meshes.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/instant-meshes-macos.zip)\u003cbr/\u003e\n\u003e [Linux](https://instant-meshes.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/instant-meshes-linux.zip)\n\nPlease also fetch the following dataset ZIP file and extract it so that the\n``datasets`` folder is in the same directory as ``Instant Meshes``, ``Instant Meshes.app``,\nor ``Instant Meshes.exe``.\n\n\u003e [Datasets](https://instant-meshes.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/instant-meshes-datasets.zip)\n\nNote: On Linux, Instant Meshes relies on the program ``zenity``, which must be installed.\n\n## Compiling\n\nCompiling from scratch requires CMake and a recent version of XCode on Mac,\nVisual Studio 2015 on Windows, and GCC on Linux. \n\nOn MacOS, compiling should be as simple as\n\n    git clone --recursive https://github.com/wjakob/instant-meshes\n    cd instant-meshes\n    cmake .\n    make -j 4\n\nTo build on Linux, please install the prerequisites ``libxrandr-dev``,\n``libxinerama-dev``, ``libxcursor-dev``, and ``libxi-dev`` and then use the\nsame sequence of commands shown above for MacOS.\n\nOn Windows, open the generated file ``InstantMeshes.sln`` after step 3 and proceed building as usual from within Visual Studio.\n\n## Usage\n\nTo get started, launch the binary and select a dataset using the \"Open mesh\" button on the top left (the application must be located in the same directory as the 'datasets' folder, otherwise the panel will be empty).\n\nThe standard workflow is to solve for an orientation field (first blue button) and a position field (second blue button) in sequence, after which the 'Export mesh' button becomes active. Many user interface elements display a descriptive message when hovering the mouse cursor above for a second.\n\nA range of additional information about the input mesh, the computed fields,\nand the output mesh can be visualized using the check boxes accessible via the\n'Advanced' panel.\n\nClicking the left mouse button and dragging rotates the object; right-dragging\n(or shift+left-dragging) translates, and the mouse wheel zooms. The fields can also be manipulated using brush tools that are accessible by clicking the first icon in each 'Tool' row.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwjakob%2Finstant-meshes","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fwjakob%2Finstant-meshes","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwjakob%2Finstant-meshes/lists"}
