Defining Areas by Curvature Segmentation

Segmentation by Curvature defines areas on a mesh along the curvatures or curvature radii.

  1. Select the mesh to analyze.
  2. Edit the Influent Radius.

    • If the influent radius is small, the result is noisy,

    • If it is large, the curvature is smoothed.

  3. Select the type of analysis, then the type of calculation from the lists.
  4. Sweep the mesh with the pointer to see the values of curvature or radius.
  5. Click the mesh to display Scans.
  6. Combine the types of analysis and the value in the top spinner box to display scans.
  7. Use the Filter spinner to remove unwanted points.
  8. Optional: Click Curvature Mapping to display a temporary one.
  9. Use the slider to influence the color repartition.
  10. Select the Results options.
