Morph3D

Repository source: Morph3D

Description

This example uses vtkInterpolateDataSetAttributes to interpolate datasets created using vtkImplicitModeller. Then vtkContourFilter extracts the resulting isosurface. An animation loop of 100 steps shows each interpolated isosurface with a 100 millisecond delay between each frame.

Download and Build Morph3D

Click here to download Morph3D and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball Morph3D.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

cd Morph3D/build

If VTK is installed:

cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

make

and run it:

./Morph3D

WINDOWS USERS

Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
