Octree Dual Contouring

Project Status

This is currently just a prototype for understanding the limitations of this technique. My current assessment:

Pros

• can reproduce sharp features from hermite data
• built-in octree simplification via QEF

Cons

• requires parameter tuning to avoid artifacts
• probably slow? (still need to benchmark)
