[vtkusers] Surface coarsening/remeshing code release

[Sebastien Valette]

Hi,

We have just released the source of our surface mesh 
simplification/remeshing code called ACVD. ACVD performs uniform, 
curvature-adapted or anisotropic coarsening of triangular meshes 
(inheriting the vtkPolyData class) in an efficient way and is well 
suited for meshes made of several million triangles (the limit depending 
on your RAM resources). This code is the implementation of the papers 
[1][2] given at the end of this message. As it is coded on top of VTK 
and CMAKE, it made sense for us to advertise the release on the mailing 
list.

You can get the code archive and more details here:

By the way, big up to the VTK devs, your work is greatly appreciated!

Sebastien
