how to create scutoids shape

[leeleolay]

hi, I have read some codes and test some codes such as pipeline in the directory InSilicoModels/TubularModel/. by these codes, i can achieve voronoi diagram in different plane between apical and basal surface. But I can't create tubular 3d model. I don't which code could achieve this function and how to extract a cell model from tubular model. could you give me some suggestion about this problem or point out which scripts could achieve this target?

Hi @leeleolay, you could develop an interpolation between the different cell apico-basal slices. You must correlate the 2D planar coordinates to 3D ones, and then use "alphaShape" in Matlab to join each slice.

We did it into the function -> create3DCylinder.m

Epithelia3D -> correlationMain.m -> correlationVolumeAreaSidesSurfaceRatio.m -> create3DCylinder.m

In case your RAM memory is not too high, you must use a reductionFactor>1 to get your tube with a lower resolution.

Moreover, at this moment I am working on developing a 3D .stl/.ply model directly. This is a new project that will be hosted in "https://github.com/ComplexOrganizationOfLivingMatter/StructuralAnalysis". I do not know when I would finish. If you have any specific doubt, write me -> [email protected].
