ParticleMesher

Dependencies

• OpenVDB Follow https://www.openvdb.org/documentation/doxygen/build.html to install OpenVDB (Building Standalone). You should first clone OpenVDB repository a place you wish to install:

  git clone https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openvdb.git
  

  Then install dependencies that building OpenVDB requires:

  sudo apt-get install cmake                   # CMake
  sudo apt-get install libtbb-dev              # TBB
  sudo apt-get install zlibc                   # zlib
  sudo apt-get install libboost-iostreams-dev  # Boost::iostream
  sudo apt-get install libblosc-dev            # Blosc
  

  Then build and install OpenVDB:

  cd openvdb
  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake ../
  cmake --build .
  cmake --build . --target install
  

  If there's complaint about boost version: https://stackoverflow.com/a/75893242

  After installation you will find your OpenVDB module path. It is often /usr/local/lib/cmake/OpenVDB

  libboost_iostreams.so.1.73.0
  libblosc.so.1
  libopenvdb.so.11.0
  libtbb.so.12
  libparticle_mesher.so
  

Compile

• Build ParticleMesher and its python binding:

  cd ./ext/ParticleMesher
  cmake -S . -B build -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D PYTHON_VERSIONS=3.9 -D OPENVDB_MODULE_PATH=[OpenVDB module path]
  cmake --build build -j $(nproc)
  

Add to Path

• add to your .bashrc

  echo "export PMP_PATH=${PWD}/build/bin"
  source ~/.bashrc
