This is an algorithm for repairing damaged 3D meshes by filling holes with smooth surfaces using variational calculus and surface fairing techniques. It is designed for developers and researchers working with 3D mesh… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. An algorithm for smoothly filling holes in 3D meshes launched in 2018; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    Hey all, You've probably seen projects that add objects to an image from a style or text prompt, like InteriorAI (levelsio) and Adobe Firefly. The prevalent issue with these diffusion-based inpainting approaches is that they don't yet have great conditioning on lighting, perspective, and structure. You'll often get incorrect or generic shadows; warped-looking objects; and distorted backgrounds. What is Fill 3D? Fill 3D is an exploration on doing generative fill in 3D to render ultra-realistic results that harmonize with the background image, using industry-standard path tracing, akin to…

    To my knowledge, this is the first formally verified implementation of a 3D constructive solid geometry (CSG) operation: mesh intersection, implemented in Lean 4 and verified against a concise specification that pins down the surface of the resulting mesh exactly and guarantees practical well-formedness conditions on the triangulation. This project is also an experiment in avoiding having to trust AI-generated code. A human reviewer only needs to read 93 lines of formal specification and run the Lean checker to certify the correctness of the kernel, skipping the intricate 1000+ lines of…

    I deal with a lot of geometry stuff at work with computer vision and photogrammetry, which usually comes from the real world. It's seldom clean and neat, and I'm often trying to find a way to "make it nice" or "make it pretty". I've always struggled with what that really means formally. That led me to shape regularization (a technique used in computational geometry to clean up geometric data). CGAL had implemented a few methods for that, but there are more ways to do it, which I thought were nice. Also I typically work in Python, so it was nice to have a pure Python library could handle…

    Hello HN users, This is a CAD by code project I have been working on on my free time for more than year now. I built it with 3 goals in mind: - It should be familiar to CAD designers who have used other programs. Same workflow, same terminology. - Reduce the mental effort required to create models as much as possible. This is achieved by: - Provide live rendering and visual guidance as you type. - Allow the user to reference existing edges/faces on the scene instead of having to calculate everything. - Provide interactive mouse helpers for features that are hard to write by code: Only 3…

    This is a GPU "software" raytracer (i.e. using manual ray-scene intersections and not RTX) written using the WebGPU API that renders glTF scenes. It supports many materials, textures, material & normal mapping, and heavily relies on multiple importance sampling to speed up convergence.

    Creating high-quality scientific figures can be time-consuming and challenging, even though sketching ideas on paper is relatively easy. Furthermore, recreating existing figures that are not stored in formats preserving semantic information is equally complex. To tackle this problem, we introduce DeTikZify, a novel multimodal language model that automatically synthesizes scientific figures as semantics-preserving TikZ graphics programs based on sketches and existing figures. We also introduce a Monte Carlo Tree Search-based inference algorithm that enables DeTikZify to iteratively refine its…

    To my knowledge, this is the first formally verified implementation of an intersection algorithm for polygons. The experience of working with AI agents on this project changed a lot with recent model releases, as I describe in the readme. Opus 4.8 is able to provide algorithm implementation with formal proof in one shot, whereas previous models required me to provide proof strategies in multiple steps. Trust in the correctness comes entirely from the Lean checker and human review of a small specification, not from the LLM. Also check out the web demo built around the verified core linked in…
