VMTKSURFACERESOLUTION(1)

πŸ“¦ version 1.5.0, in ubuntu stonking

✨ NAME ✨

vmtksurfaceresolution β€” bestie, it's literally the vmtk script vmtksurfaceresolution. That's the name. That's the whole vibe. Section 1, User Commands, we're in the terminal now πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Okay so first thing you'll see on this page is the auto-generated boilerplate: Automatic piping vmtksurfaceresolution and Parsing options vmtksurfaceresolution. That's just the script announcing itself, no cap β€” the real tea starts right after πŸ«–

Here's what it actually does:

vmtksurfaceresolution : it lets you (the user, the main character πŸ‘‘) specify an edge-length array that sets the resolution for surface remeshing. And where does that array come from? RBF interpolation ✨ β€” of the values you specify by positioning spheres. Positioning spheres!! That's the whole workflow. Iconic behavior fr fr.


πŸ“₯ Input arguments

  • -id Id β€” (str,1), default=0: the script id, aka its little name tag 🏷️
  • -handle Self β€” (self,1): handle to self, it's giving self-awareness πŸ’«
  • -disabled Disabled β€” (bool,1), default=0: turn off execution and piping. Yes bestie, you can just... not πŸ™ˆ
  • -i Surface β€” (vtkPolyData,1): the input surface, the star of the show 🌟
  • -ifile SurfaceInputFileName β€” (str,1): the filename for the default Surface reader πŸ“‚
  • -resolutionarray ResolutionArrayName β€” (str,1), default=ResolutionArray: the array that stores the desired edge length. This is the one, this is the moment πŸ“
  • -rbftype RBFType β€” (str,1) in ['thinplatespline', 'biharmonic', 'triharmonic'], default=biharmonic: which flavor of RBF interpolation you want. Pick your fighter πŸ₯Š
  • -opacity Opacity β€” (float,1) >= 0.0 and <= 1.0, default=1.0: the object opacities in the scene. Stay in that range, queen β€” it's a hard limit, not a suggestion 🚧
  • -renderer vmtkRenderer β€” (vmtkRenderer,1): an external renderer, if you're bringing your own 🎬
  • -ofile SurfaceOutputFileName β€” (str,1): the filename for the default Surface writer πŸ“

πŸ“€ Output arguments

  • -id Id β€” (str,1), default=0: the script id again, she contains multitudes πŸ”
  • -handle Self β€” (self,1): handle to self, round two πŸ’«
  • -o Surface β€” (vtkPolyData,1): and there's your surface, out the other side. Slay 🌈

Lowkey important: the -opacity value must sit between 0.0 and 1.0 inclusive. Go outside that range and the vibes are simply not it. 😭

And that's the page, bestie! Written by the vmtk girlies, version 1.5, dated April 2026 β€” this was VMTKSURFACERESOLUTION(1) from the User Commands section. Go remesh something gorgeous. Mwah πŸ’‹πŸŽ€πŸ¦‹
