Mesh Viewer 0.3.1
An easy to use lightweight application for displaying three dimensional models (triangular meshes) from a variety of file format more>>
Mesh Viewer was born under the need for quickly displaying reconstructed triangulated meshes. The current version has been developed by Helmut Cantzler and a number of various contributors. The Mesh Viewer is based on an idea and an early elementary implementation from Craig Robertson.
Triangular meshes can be displayed texture mapped (optional with bilinear filtering), solid or as a wire frame (all lines or just the front lines). The surface normals of the triangles can be displayed optionally.
Loaded models can be rotated, translated and scaled (all done with the mouse). The model is lighted by multiple light sources. Viewpoints can be saved.
Screenshots of the model can be taken. The program is able to calculate the texture map for the 3D model.
Mesh Viewer supports the following 3D file formats:
- PMesh forma (used at the Vision group of the University of Edinburgh)
- GTS format (from the Gnu Triangulation Library)
- Geomview format (only format "OFF" or "COFF")
- PLY format (only ASCII format)
- VRML 1.0 format
- VRML 2.0 format (VRML97)
- Visualisation Toolkit VTK format (ASCII POLYDATA only)
- Alias Wavefront / Java 3D OBJ format (ASCII polygon data only).
System requirements:
- Mesh Viewer requires a 3-button mouse (or emulation) in order to rotate (left button), translate (middle button) and zoom (right button) the model.
- It is recommended to use a 3D acceleration graphics card for displaying models. This is specially important for displaying models with texture.
- Mesh Viewer requires an OpenGL library and a GUI library for displaying and interacting with the OpenGL module. (the Qt 3 library is included in the package)
MeshLab 1.1.0
An open source, extendible and portable system for the editing and processing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes. more>> An open source, extendible and portable system for the editing and processing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes.
MeshLab is an open source, extendible and portable system for the editing and processing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes.
MeshLab 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.
Main 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
- export:PLY, STL, OFF, OBJ, 3DS, COLLADA, VRML, DXF
- Mesh Cleaning Filters:
- removal of duplicated, unreferenced vertices, null faces
- removal of small isolated components
- coherent normal unification and flipping
- erasing of non manifold faces
- automatic filling of holes
- Remeshing filters:
- High quality edge collapse simplfication (even meshes with texture coords preservation)
- Surface reconstruction from points (a ball pivoting variant)
- Subdivision surfaces (loop and butterfly)
- Feature preserving smoothing and fairing filters
- Various Colorization/Inspection filters
- Gaussian and mean curvature
- Border edges
- Non two-manifold edges
- Self intersecting faces
- Interactive Mesh Painting
- Color Painting
- Selection paint
- Smoothing
- OpenGL Shader based rendering (write your own shader!) compatible with Typhoon Labs Shader Designer
- Large rendering (up to 16k x 16k) for high quality printing
- The history of the all performed cleaning/editing actions can be re-played on different meshes or saved and for archival purposes.
- Extendible plugins based architecture, writing new mesh processing functions, colorization filters and support for different file formats is quite easy!

ShapeShop Beta 0.0.4
New features include gestural 3D manipulation, Layered Surface editing operation more>> ShapeShop is a new 3D modeling and design tool with a fun, easy-to-learn interface. Sketch-based shape creation and editing tools make it simple to quickly translate your ideas into a 3D shape, and drag-and-drop decal compositing makes texturing simple. Best of all, ShapeShop is free!
ShapeShop uses state-of-the-art procedural implicit surface technology, allowing you to drag-and-drop 3D parts to quickly assemble a seamless, smooth surface. You wont have to worry about details like mesh topology or resolution. Procedural modeling means you can generate meshes at any resolution you need, just like with NURBS or SubDs. But with procedural implicit surfaces, you have a true construction history. You can "go back in time" and tweak any editing operation in the entire model tree, even across modeling sessions! ShapeShop uses a hierachical CAD/CSG workflow, applied to a free-form modeling interface.
ShapeShops advanced decal texturing tools also support simple drag-and-drop interaction. Textures can be quickly layered directly on the surface. Decaling compositing is procedural too, so you can always go back and tweak a decal or change layer ordering. You can even edit the underlying implicit model, your decals will stick to it!
ShapeShop currently exports meshes in the ubiquitous OBJ format, which can be loaded directly into many standard tools. Try using ShapeShop to create a base surfaces, and then load it into ZBrush to paint geometric detail, or Maya and 3DSMax for rendering. Youve got nothing to lose - ShapeShop is free!<<less
