Code for the Siggraph 2023 Paper: Shortest Path to Boundary for Self-Intersecting Meshes.
Note that this is the code for the shortest path to surface algorithm. It does not include the simulation part, which will be released separately, as Gaia physics engine.
Please download the code using the following command:
git clone git@github.com:AnkaChan/Shortest-Path-to-Boundary-for-Self-Intersecting-Meshes.git --recursive
This Algorithm has the following dependencies:
- MeshFrame2: for mesh processing (included as submodule)
- CuMatrix: for geometry and matrix computation (included as submodule)
- OneTBB (included as a submodule)
- Eigen3 (tested with 3.3.7)
- Embree (tested with 3.13.1) Known issues exist for version >= 3.13.4.
You need to install Eigen3 and Embree with the required version and add attributes: "Eigen3_DIR" and "embree_DIR" whose values are their corresponding config.cmake path to your environment variable to allow CMake to find them.
Use CMake to build the project and compile it. Currently, the code is only tested with Windows & Visual Studio.
- "tbb12.lib" is not found.
The reason of this bug is that Embree has already had a compilation of tbb, named tbb.lib. However, OneTBB is asking for a file called tbb12.lib. An easy solution is to duplicate that tbb.lib from embree, name it "tbb12.lib" and put it in the same repository. - "Host key verification failed. fatal: Could not read from remote repository."
This issue could be that Github isn't present in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. Append GitHub to the list of authorized hosts:ssh-keyscan -H github.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
After compilation, it should give you a binary file called: Shortest-Path-Test. Run it using the following command:
Shortest-Path-Test [PathToRepo]/TestData/Parameters.json [PathToRepo]/TestData/IntersectingShape.t
It will do discrete collision detection for this mesh and query the shortest path to surface for each of the intersecting points.
