Triangulation Data for Basel Face Model 2017

[Basanta Sharma]

Hi all. Had a small doubt.

The older Basel Face Model came along with triangulation data that could be used for rendering the model as a mesh. But, I couldn't find the triangulation data in the newer version: Basel Face Model, 2017. Can anyone guide me how should I render the model as a mesh.

Hi Basanta,

the triangulation is part of the reference-Mesh in our model.

In scalismo-faces you get it via yourMoMo.referenceMesh.triangulation.

For external usage you can find the triagulation in the h5-model-file. There are a lot of libraries to load hdf5 files (e.g. in matlab). The triangulation is found in shape/representer/cells.

If you just want to render a mesh you can again use scalismo-faces:

val renderer = MoMoRenderer(yourMoMo, RGBA.BlackTransparent).cached(5)

And then render a mesh using:

renderer.renderMesh(renderParameters)
