- Dear Netters,
-
- I need to create a 3D surface from cross-section contours of a
- biological cell. The cross-sections are quite complicated, having a number of
- compartments and branches. If you know of any code/applications/papers which
- might be in the direction of a solution to this problem, I would greatly
- appreciate any help you can give.
-
- I'm in the process of reading/obtaining the following papers:

-
- For software, I'm not picky about what form the data has to be in, but
- it wouldn't hurt if it were amenable to AVS.
-
- Please followup to comp.graphics.visualization or directly to me and I'll
- post a summary.
-
- Thank you very much in advance,
-
- Jon.
