[osg-users] Geometry of Generic 3D Surface from Collection of Points

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Erik,

The OSG has the osgUtil::DelaunayTriangulator and the GLU based
osgUtil::Tessellator can be used for tessellating meshes, but both utilize
a 2D projection to a plan to work out the connectivity so aren't
appropriate for meshes that will be folded.
