SmoothMeshGrid

Repository source: SmoothMeshGrid

Description

Create a terrain with regularly spaced points. The triangles are created manually. Then different types of smoothing filters are used to smooth the terrain.

Left : initial terrain, middle : vtkLoopSubdivisionFilter, right : vtkButterflySubdivisionFilter
