03:34.24 Soze49 Hi, sorry if I'm out of topic but, could you please point me to some information source about making cross sections of 3d models ? I'm working with STL files, and I need yo make cross sections from the models so any advice on existent algorithms, methods, etc is what i need.
03:54.12 Otto__ the fastest way that I found was to make an arb8 that cut out the part you didn't want. you could also use an arb8 that would only include the area you wanted to keep.
04:03.02 Soze49 but I have a 3d model made of triangle facets so the idea is to construct a bitmap of the intersection of a plane with the model
04:17.05 Otto__ Honestly not to be of any help, but I'm of no help. I'm not too sure of how to go about that. May google search prove fruitful
