Thank you, Janek.  May I know where can I find the marching cube algorithm in YADE?  And how is it used?  I'm really curious (one reason is i've spent days looking for the marching cube algorithm).  Although I'm still a novice, but I hope soon, I'll be a 'pro'.  If I am able to think of a shape that can be specified by an equation, and marching cube is available, it will save me a lot of trouble thinking of how to plot it.  Thanks~

 

 

Really grateful,

 

CW Boon

I can't recall what shapes but they were recommending the "marching cube" algorithm.. In the OpenGl file for sphere, are the vertices and faces a general polygonization method for any equation? Or is it only for a sphere-type particle? I'm a novice in this.
