<p>As a part of the course I teach at Bauhaus-Dessau Institute of Architecture, I developed a Delaunay class in Python for Maya to generate the triangulation via mathematical operations (I was also, in the course, using Qhull), based on the <a href="http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/papers/triangulate/index.html">algorithm developed by Paul Bourke</a>. It is still very crude and needs lots of works, but it does generate fast and correct triangulations in its current version.</p>

<p>Next step would be to automatize the class to update the triangulation in real-time, and to create user interfaces to make the whole process a bit more friendly. The ultimate goal would be to make it into a plugin for Maya,which I am far away from accomplishing. I guess I won&#8217;t develop it much further, but for anyone interested, here is the <a href="http://soparametric.com/wp-content/uploads/delaunay.py">Python script to download</a>.</p>
