<p class=body>MeshLab is an open source portable and
extendible system for the processing and editing of unstructured 3D triangular
meshes. <br>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.<br><br>
The project is supported by the
European Network of Excellence <a href="http://www.epoch-net.org/">Epoch</a> <br><br>
The system is heavily
based on the <a href="http://vcg.sourceforge.net">VCG
library</a> developed at the <a href="http://vcg.isti.cnr.it">Visual Computing Lab</a> of <A href="www.isti.cnr.it" >ISTI - CNR</A>, for all the
core mesh processing tasks. The MeshLab system started as a part of the <a
href="http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/%7Ecignoni/FGT0506/index.html">FGT</a> course of the <A href="www.di.unipi.it" >Computer Science</A>
department of University of Pisa and most of the code (~15k
lines) of the first versions was written by a handful of <A href="#Developers">students</A>. &nbsp;</p>

<p class=body>Remember that, whenever you use MeshLab in a
official/commercial project, you should feel <a
style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obligation">morally
obligated</a><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic"> </span>to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Explicitly cite in your work that you have used MeshLab a tool developed with the support of the <a href="http://www.epoch-net.org/">Epoch</a> NOE,
<li>Post a couple of lines in the <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=499532"
>users' forum</a> describing the project where MeshLab was
used. </li></ul>
<h2><a name=Features></a>Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Interactive selection and deletion of portion of the
mesh. Even for large models.
<LI>Input/output in many formats (PLY, STL, OFF, OBJ, 3DS)
<li>Extendible plugins based architecture, writing new
mesh processing functions, colorization filters and support for different file
formats is quite easy (look at this code <a
href="http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/filter.html"
>sample</a>)
<li>Cleaning Filters:
<ul>
<li>removal of duplicated, unreferenced vertices, null
faces </li></ul>
<ul>
<li>subdivision filters (midpoint, loop and butterfly)
<li>coherent normal unification and flipping </li></ul>
<li>OpenGL Shader based rendering (write your own
shader!) compatible with Shader Designer
<li>Large rendering (up to 16k x 16k) for high quality
printing
<li>Various Colorization/inspecting Filters
<ul>
<li>Gaussian and mean curvature
<li>Border edges
<li>Non two-manifold faces</li>
</ul>
<LI> The history of the all performed cleaning/editing
actions can be re-played on different meshes or saved and for archival
purposes.</LI>
</ul>
Bug reports and feature requests should be filed using
the sourceforge <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=149444">service -&gt;</a><br>General questions
can be posted on the <a
