Turn your scenes into meshes – for Blender and other 3D programs, or for your 3D printer – 579 automated tests.

The mesh dialog: GLB and STL ticked, OBJ and PLY to choose, a texture from the training images, the existing mesh with its files The mesh of an example room in Blender: standing upright on the floor
Example data – a synthetic room, rendered in Blender.

New in 0.5

  • 🧊 Mesh export – Mesh … on every scene and tour turns the splats into a surface with Spirula Studio (spirula mesh). Suggested in #2 – thanks!
    • GLB (recommended: colours or texture in one file), STL (no colours, for slicers), OBJ (with a texture if possible) and PLY (colours per corner).
    • Stands upright, floor at height 0 – the scenes have Y pointing down like the Steam Frame's tracking, so a mesh would lie on its side. Each format now gets the axis 3D programs expect (Z up for PLY and STL, Y up for GLB and OBJ), checked by importing every format in Blender. In metres.
    • What lies well outside the room is left out before meshing, so blobs beyond the walls don't become lumps around the room.
    • A texture from the training images when they are still there; otherwise colours per corner from the splats.
    • The mesh lives in the scene's folder (mesh/); Mesh ✓ shows which scenes have one. Also on the command line: scripts/mesh.sh, scripts/upright.py.
  • 🐛 A versions job with one version no longer says "1 versions".

Meshes made without training images are rough and have open edges – fine for a first look or a test print, a 3D program helps to clean them up.
