3D Texture - Wave

thingiverse

This Wave texture has been turned into a 8-bit volume data cube at 256 x 256 x 256 voxel resolution, with iso-surface meshes in PLY and STL formats provided. It was created by sweeping a plane through a procedural texture and rendering the result. The archive is nearly ten years old. Available formats are: zipped RAW data (256x256x256 8-bit, 16MB uncompressed), zipped BMP sequence (256x256x256 8-bit, 17MB uncompressed), and PNG codec AVI. Additionally, there are PLY isosurface mesh with 4.3M polygons and STL isosurface mesh (reduced) containing 500K polygons. There's also a version with a supporting column in PNG codec AVI and a reduced STL version with 400k polygons. These volumetric objects were created to explore the differences between polygonal and volumetric representations of objects.
