A Python Library to age 3d models by simulating the effects of weather
Age3D is a Python Library that allows for eroding of 3d models. It uses the .stl file format and incorporates Open3D functionality, allowing users to simulate material removal.
Features:
- Conversion of
.stltoTriangleMesh - Allows for Segmentation of Mesh Vertices based on Height Params
- Erodes Mesh by Simulating Erosion Particles
- Customizable Number of Particles
- Customizable Lifetime of Particles
- Performs Raycasting Computation to Only Remove Material
age3d requires the open3d Python Library which is installed during libray installation.
The recommended way to install age3d is through pip.
pip install age3d
Import the library:
import age3d
Import a .stl model where file_path points to the location:
mesh = age3d.import_mesh(file_path)
If the mesh is low-poly, run with number_of_subdivisions > 0:
mesh = age3d.mesh_subdivision(mesh, iterations = number_of_subdivisions)
Erode the mesh:
eroded_mesh = age3d.erode(mesh)
If Erosion with customized Passes and Max Particle Lifetime:
updated_vertices, eroded_mesh = age3d.erode(mesh, iterations = 2, erosion_lifetime = 10)
Make a PointCloud with Red Color Points:
point_cloud = age3d.make_point_cloud(mesh, color = [255, 0, 0])
Visualize Eroded Mesh:
eroded_mesh.compute_vertex_normals()
age3d.visualize(eroded_mesh)
or
eroded_mesh.compute_vertex_normals()
age3d.visualize([eroded_mesh])
Visualize Mesh & Point Cloud:
eroded_mesh.compute_vertex_normals()
age3d.visualize([eroded_mesh, point_cloud])
Visualize Mesh & Point Cloud with Wireframe:
eroded_mesh.compute_vertex_normals()
age3d.visualize([eroded_mesh, point_cloud], show_wireframe = True)
