TextureMesh Command did not generate a new "_texture_mesh.ply" file

[citystrawman]

Describe the bug
I followed this tutorial to learn how to generate a textured mesh.

Dense point-cloud reconstruction and Mesh reconstruction are both OK. But when I ran TextureMesh scene_dense_mesh.mvs I can only get scene_dense_mesh_texture_mesh.png and scene_dense_mesh_texture_mesh.mvs. I think the command should also generate a scene_dense_mesh_texture_mesh.ply file but it did not.

Then I guess I should run ReconstructMesh scene_dense_mesh.mvs because this command could generate a scene_dense_mesh_texture_mesh.ply file.

It did generate a scene_dense_mesh_texture_mesh.ply file, but when I opened it in meshlab, the texture seems not correct:

As you can see.

But the texture mapping png looks OK:

can you pls try something else, maybe Meshlab has an issue?

I tried windows 3D viewer and blender, neither of them show texture image. (I am not familiar with these software) Do you know any software supports .ply with texture image?

BTW Does the command TextureMesh scene_dense_mesh.mvs only generate .png and .mvs files? I saw from some website tutorial that it also generate a .ply file but it doesn't on my computer.

after a quick search, I found a way to add texture in blender from here. but the result was obviously not correct:

I uploaded all .mvs .ply and .png files here for your concern.
Thank you

it works for me; pls use the GLB, I do not know how you generated the PLY, but you did something wrong in the conversion

I did not find a tutorial for using glb. ( I found I can open glb in microsoft 3d viewer but can't open it in meshlab) Could you give me a link?

It's my fault. I haven't updated meshlab. Now it works.

Thank you
