PyMarchingCubes

PyMarchingCubes is a fork from PyMCubes, with a different implementation of the actual marching function (see 'marching_cubes/src/marchingcubes.h'). It fixes some issues of the original implementation that let to wrong triangulation (visible in triangles that are larger than the actual 'marching cell').

Color Interpolation

The module also includes a marching cubes with color interpolation: marching_cubes_color and marching_cubes_color_func. Have a look at the 'examples/spheres.py' file. Basically, it is called with marching_cubes_color(sdf_volume, rgb_volume, iso_level) assuming a 3D grid for the sdf values (dim_x,dim_y,dim_z) and a 4D grid for the colors (dim_x,dim_y,dim_z,3).

PyMarchingCubes Color Interpolation

The export functions for obj and off files are adapted accordingly to handle the vertex colors.

Super sampling along the edges

In case you are using a truncated signed distance function, you might miss the correct zero-crossing because of undersampling. Increasing the sample volume grows cubically, instead one can also subsample along the edges of a coarser volume to find a better approximation of the zero-crossing. This subsampling of the edges is achieved by sampling along the x,y,z axis independently with higher resolution (e.g., you sample (dim_x + (dim_x-1)*edge_sampling, dim_y, dim_z) for the edges along the x axis). The computational cost grow linear with the number of subsamples (e.g. 10 subsamples result in ~30 times more samples that you have to provide (since you need 10 times more samples per axis)). A modified marching cubes implementation can be called via marching_cubes_super_sampling(sdf_x, sdf_y, sdf_z, iso_level). Have a look at the sphere example.

Other than that, this repository is the same as the original (https://github.com/pmneila/PyMCubes).
