Differences between 3D libraries
Hello everyone. I have opened this topic to make order for the creation of 3D in processing. It would be nice to write the differences between these libraries:
- Toxiclib
- He-Mesh
- Modelbuilder
- IGeo
I think the main questions are:
- Which one is better for real-time generative 3d-geometries?
- Which one is using more the GPU?
- Which one is better for rendering quality?
- Which one is more easy to coding?
- Which one is easy way for create complex Mesh?
- Which one is good for Voronoi, Octree, etc?
- Which one is good for modify generative mesh? Face, Edge, Vertex modify?
- Which one have good integration with the Processing language?
- Which one is still updating for future use of Processing 3.0?
I hope lot users will partecipate to share your opinion, good and bad experiences.
Thanks Daimon

Hi Daimon, what an interesting and BIG question !!!
I´m newbie with toxiclibs and HE_Mesh. Don`t know anythig about Modelbuilder nor IGeo.
These are my first impressions:
HE_Mesh works with a Half Edge structure that it is believed to be more efficient...
HE_Mesh is under an active development (thanks WBlut !!!). It seems that Toxiclibs is abandoned...what a pity!
Toxiclibs has a verletphysics library incorporated. HE_Mesh don´t :(
Toxiclibs has a intuitive VolumetricBrush. HE_Mesh?
HE_Mesh meshes can be easily exported to PShape (GPU). Toxiclibs?
HE_Mesh calculates Voronoi3D and Delaunay3D. Toxiclibs don´t.
.....
Thank you @brainwashed. Finally a first answer after months! We can start write a reference of all 3d libraries now, waiting more anwers :)
iGeo is not supported in processing 2.0. :(
Thank you @schwak, nice to know!
Igeo latest version 0.9.1.6 for Processing 2.2.1 and 1.5 released.(2015/06/20)
