FIGURE 4. GPIT 2 Plateosaurus engelhardti left humerus (length 351 mm) point cloud based 3D file creation example. Clockwise, starting top left: lateral, proximal, cranial, caudal, distal, and medial views (terms refer to standardized in vivo position, assuming parasagittal posture). (1) Point cloud from mechanical digitizing. (2) Initial mesh as created in Geomagic®. Note the large holes and many small surface errors. (3) Final edited mesh. Small surface errors were deleted and the resulting holes as well as the large holes were closed with curvature-based filling.
