Kalecgos

Whereas each other image here represents some particular challenge in complex geometric representations, the heart shown at the top right wasn't explicitly mentioned, and I'm curious what challenge it might correspond to. Perhaps something to do with soft/wet materials?

@Kalecgos Perhaps. I immediately think about the volumetric representation of organs, and the challenges of modeling both the outer shape of a heart and its internal structure. The question of what geometric representation works best also depends on the application: are we using the geometry to help doctors diagnose heart diseases or to print a replacement heart valve?
