MeshLab

MeshLab is an open source, portable, and extensible system for the processing and editing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes. The system is aimed to help the processing of the typical not-so-small unstructured models arising in 3D scanning, providing a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering and converting this kind of meshes. The system is heavily based on the VCG library developed at the Visual Computing Lab of ISTI - CNR, for all the core mesh processing tasks and it is available for Windows, Linux (src) and MacOSX (intel only). The MeshLab system started in late 2005 as a part of the FGT course of the Computer Science department of University of Pisa and most of the code (~15k lines) of the first versions was written by a handful of willing students. The following years FGT students have continued to work to this project implementing more and more features. The proud MeshLab developers are listed here.This project is actively supported by the 3D-CoForm project. Features: * Interactive selection and deletion of portion of the mesh. Even for large models. * Painting interface for selecting, smoothing and coloring meshes. * Input/output in many formats: * import:PLY, STL, OFF, OBJ, 3DS, COLLADA, PTX, v3d, PTS, APTS, XYZ, GTS, TRI, ASC, X3D, X3DV, VRML, ALN * export:PLY, STL, OFF, OBJ, 3DS, COLLADA, VRML, DXF, GTS, U3D, IDTF, X3D * Point Clouds support. Now 3D files that are composed only by points are well supported in PLY and OBJ format. * U3D support; MeshLab is the first open source tool to provide direct conversion of 3D meshes into the U3D format.
