Hi all, I was looking for free software to work with STL-files [1] used in rapid prototyping and found Meshlab [2], which is pretty nice, at least for viewing and converting meshes from one format to another (BTW if someone knows of a free software 3D CAD program, please let me know).
[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_(file_format) [2] http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/ AFAIK, there is nothing else in Debian or Ubuntu for viewing these files (apart from converting to something like VRML with e.g. admesh), so packaging Meshlab would be worthwhile. Maybe it could also be used to visualize some types of medical imaging data. Meshlab depends on the VCG library [3], which is also used in a molecular graphics program Qutemol [4], all written by the same group. Qutemol has very impressive graphics output and would be a nice addition to Debian / Ubuntu as well, but needs modern OpenGL hardware which I don't have access to at the moment. [3] http://vcg.sourceforge.net [4] http://qutemol.sourceforge.net/ I could go on and package Meshlab with a static copy of VCG included, but if there's someone with suitable hardware, time and interest to package Qutemol, then maybe VCG should be in a separate package. Anybody interested? Best, Teemu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
