Figure 1. Tessellating the surface.

Figure 1

Prior to generating a curved bilayer model, LipidWrapper must first characterize the requested geometry. A) Initially, simple mesh points define the bilayer surface. B) If triangulation is not provided (i.e., a collada DAE file is not specified), LipidWrapper subsequently tessellates these points so that the entire surface is covered in small triangles.
