[Bf-committers] Particle polygonizer

[gandalf3]

This would be totally awesome :D
I've been waiting for this feature for a long time...

There were some projects to do this, but they all seem pretty dead now.
Most were just python addons IIRC, but there was this one which was 
implemented in C: http://pfs.planetblender.org/

Here's a link to a list of links to papers which was posted to this 
mailing list back when the above patch was in development: 
http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2011-March/030852.html

Some of the python implementations:

(also see http://bwide.wordpress.com/scripts/particle-fluid-tools/)
http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?255694-Addon-Mesh-from-particles

And a related BA thread: 
http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?276416-Blender-Particle-Fluids-Surface-Polygonizer

Hope these links are useful :)
