The code will run on non-SGI systems, but will only generate files containing the polygons. You may download a copy of the source, executables, and documentation from the NCSA anonymous ftp server ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (128.174.20.50). Enjoy! Mike Krogh NCSA krogh@ncsa.uiuc.edu

Cline", title = "Marching Cubes: A High Resolution 3D Surface Construction Algorithm" journal = siggraph, year = 1987, volume = 21, number = 4, pages = "163--169" } SAYS it is the Marching Cubes algorithm. The authors are from GE. I guess they spilled a company secret? More likely you refer to some tweaked version of the algorithm. Big deal. People just want a working version of the PUBLISHED algorithm. There are several available implementations of the algorithm described in the above article. Trying to redefine the "Marching Cubes Algorithm" as something internal to GE is not helpful. - mark PS I have several implementations of Marching Cubes. One is currently ftp`able from titan.rice.edu (128.42.1.30) in directory "incoming", file marchingCubes.tar.Z
