Hello,
Quick question.
I found the following MEL command to calculate the volume of polygonal objects:
computePolysetVolume(
Documentation link )
I'm wondering if anyone can verify the accuracy of this compared to Shapeways' volume calculation?
I tried it on the following 2 STL's provided by webmaster_duann:
iPhone 5 bumper:
Code:
// iphone_bumper faces = 14786 //
// TOTAL VOLUME = 4.404315761 //
// 4.404316 //
iPhone 5 case:
Code:
// iphone_case faces = 14838 //
// TOTAL VOLUME = 13.99083778 //
// Result: 13.990838 //
My maya working units is set to centimeters, so I would assume this is cm3?
Anyone here that could verify or give more information on the accuracy of the volume calculation?
Thanks in advance
