You might be also interested in the following softwares:
- CGAL The Computational Geometry Algorithms Library, top-quality code for Delaunay triangulation in 2D, 3D, on spheres ... and much more ...
- OpenMesh Efficient data structures and algorithms for geometry processing, with generic attributes (like in Graphite). The implementation is highly efficient.
- Meshlab and the VCG Library A platform very similar to Graphite, with nice features such as ambient occlusion computation and U3D (embedding 3D content in PDF files).
