CuMesh: High-Performance Geometry Processing for PyTorch

CuMesh is a GPU-accelerated library designed for high-performance 3D geometry processing directly within the PyTorch ecosystem. It provides efficient primitives for mesh cleaning, decimation, remeshing, and UV unwrapping.

Key features include:

• CUDA-Accelerated Mesh Operations: Fast topology queries, simplification, hole filling, and cleaning.
• Remeshing: Remesh arbitrary meshes using narrow-band UDF and Dual Contouring.
• UV Unwrapping: Efficient UV parameterization with xatlas enhenced by a fast mesh clustering on the GPU.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python >= 3.8
• PyTorch >= 2.4 (with CUDA support)
• CUDA Toolkit >= 12.4 (matching your PyTorch version)

Build from Source

• repair_non_manifold_edges(): Split edges to resolve non-manifold geometry.
• remove_degenerate_faces(): Remove zero-area faces or those with NaN normals.
• remove_duplicate_faces(): Remove faces with identical vertex indices.
• remove_small_connected_components(min_area): Delete isolated components below area threshold.
• unify_face_orientations(): Reorient faces to have consistent winding order.
• compute_face_normals(), compute_vertex_normals(): Trigger normal calculation (access via read_*_normals).
• get_connected_components(): Compute connectivity (access via read_connected_components).
• get_boundary_loops(): Detect boundaries (access via read_boundary_loops).
• Properties: num_vertices, num_faces, num_edges, num_boundaries.

cumesh.remeshing

• remesh_narrow_band_dc(...): Performs Dual Contouring reconstruction based on the UDF of the input mesh.

cumesh.cuBVH

NOTE: This is a wrapper around the cubvh library.

cumesh.Atlas

NOTE: This is a wrapper around the xatlas library.

• add_mesh(vertices, faces, normals=None, uvs=None): Register mesh geometry (Must be CPU tensors).
• compute_charts(max_chart_area, ...): Segment mesh into UV charts (parameterization).
• pack_charts(resolution, padding, ...): Pack generated charts into a texture atlas.
• get_mesh(index): Retrieve processed data as (vertex_map, faces, uvs).
  • vertex_map: Maps new vertex indices to original input indices.
