For some reason there is no reply to comment button. So David to your most recent comment. How do you deal then with intersections? Do you remove duplicate curves. I guess I'm saying is how do you clean up those crazy areas where points are inside the overall desired "shell of points". If that make sense.

Hi Mike,

 

you have to generate a lot of points and they have to be fairly equally distributed. I obtain the best results when creating 2D metaball slices in 3 different directions, then harvest the points from all of those section curves.

Is it possible to get a tutorial?

how do u get mesh from points so perfect. mines always broken :(

the "righteous way" would involve a 3D marching-curve or marching-tetrahedron algorithm.

SO if this is the naughty way, what is the "righteous" way?

After running MeshFromPoints on all the points generated by Grasshopper I ran a single _Smooth operation with 0.5 in x, y, and z.
