LEAVEN -- Lightweight Surface and Volume Mesh Sampling Application for Particle-based Simulations

Graphics 2023-08-04 v1

Abstract

We present an easy-to-use and lightweight surface and volume mesh sampling standalone application tailored for the needs of particle-based simulation. We describe the surface and volume sampling algorithms used in LEAVEN in a beginner-friendly fashion. Furthermore, we describe a novel method of generating random volume samples that satisfy blue noise criteria by modifying a surface sampling algorithm. We aim to lower one entry barrier for starting with particle-based simulations while still pose a benefit to advanced users. The goal is to provide a useful tool to the community and lowering the need for heavyweight third-party applications, especially for starters.
