Point Cloud Surface - trim resulting surface?


Recommended Posts

Meshing point clouds does not seem to be the hottest topic for Houdini users, but it's cool the developer has been adding tools here and there.

The new Point Cloud Surface SOP builds a mesh, but if the surface is not fully enclosed it connects the open surfaces with bubbles. I assume under the hood the SOP is using poisson surface reconstruction. Houdini, as far as I can tell does not yet provide any way to trim away this bubbled surface, nor does the SOP output any data on the 'quality' of the reconstructed mesh.

I just wanted to see if anyone had a solution to this problem at the moment. Did I miss something?

Trimming a poisson reconstructed mesh is trivial normally, so hopefully they will add the feature in the future.
