NAME

       meshlabserver — The open source batch mesh processing system

SYNOPSIS

       meshlabserver [-d output]
       meshlabserver  [-l  logfile]  [-p  projectfile] [-w outputprojectfile [-x]] [-i meshfile] ... [-o outfile
                     [-l opt_layer] [-m opt_mask]] [-s scriptfile]

DESCRIPTION

       meshlabserver allows batch-processing usage of functionality  available  in  the  interactive  meshlab(1)
       application.

       The arguments are as follows:

       -d output
               dump on a text file a list of all the filtering functions

       -l logfile
               log of the filters is output on a file

       -p projectfile
               meshlab project ( .mlp ) to be loaded

       -w outputprojectfile [-x]
               output  meshlab  project  (.mlp)  to  be  saved.   If  -x flag is specified, any 3D model file(s)
               meshfile.ext contained in the input  project  will  be  overwritten.   Otherwise,  for  an  input
               filename  of  meshfile.ext,  the model will be saved in the same directory of input mesh as a new
               file called meshfile_out.ext.  ALL the mesh attributes will be exported in the saved files.

       -i file
               mesh that has to be loaded

       -o outfile [-l opt_layer] [-m opt_mask]
               the name of the file where to write the current layer of the project.

               -l opt_layer
                       Save the specified layer to the chosen filename. Valid values for opt_layer can be

                       A number in the range [0, last_layer_in_the_project]
                               to indicate the desired layer by its index.

                       ‘c’     indicate the CURRENT layer in the project

                       ‘x’     indicate the LAST layer in the project

               -m opt_mask
                       the listed mesh attributes will be saved in the output file.  The parameter opt_mask  can
                       be a space-separated list of the following attributes:

                       ‘vc’    vertex colors

                       ‘vf’    vertex flags

                       ‘vq’    vertex quality

                       ‘vn’    vertex normals

                       ‘vt’    vertex texture coords

                       ‘vr’    vertex radius

                       ‘fc’    face colors

                       ‘ff’    face flags

                       ‘fq’    face quality

                       ‘fn’    face normals

                       ‘wc’    wedge colors

                       ‘wn’    wedge normals

                       ‘wt’    wedge texture coords

                       ‘mp’    polygonal mesh info

                       ‘sa’    save in ascii format

       -s scriptfile
               the script to be applied.  Must be in the xml format saved by MeshLab.

NOTES

       There can be multiple meshes loaded and the order they are listed matters because filters that use meshes
       as parameters choose the mesh based on the order.

       The format of the output mesh is guessed by the used extension.

EXIT STATUS

       The meshlabserver utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES

       Apply  the  script contained in the file meshclean.mlx to the mesh contained in input.obj.  Save the per-
       vertex-color, the per-face-quality, and the per-wedge-texture attributes contained in the  current  layer
       into output.ply.
             $ meshlabserver -i input.obj -o output.ply -m vc fq wt -s meshclean.mlx

       Apply  the  script contained in the file meshclean.mlx to the mesh contained in input.obj.  Save the per-
       vertex-color, the per-face-quality and the per-wedge-texture attributes contained in the layer 2  (if  it
       exists!)  into  output.ply.  Save the last layer of the project to output_last with the default geometric
       attributes.
             $ meshlabserver -i input.obj  -o  output.ply  -l  2  -m  vc  fq  wt  -o  output_last.ply  -l  l  -s
             meshclean.mlx

       Apply  the  script contained in the file meshclean.mlx to the mesh composed of input0.obj and input1.ply.
       Make input1.ply the current mesh of the project (i.e. the mesh to which the filters operating on a single
       model will be applied).  Generate a new output project outproj.mlp containing  references  to  input0.obj
       and  input1.ply.   The  files  input0.obj  and  input1.ply will be overwritten.  A log will be written to
       logfile.txt.
             $ meshlabserver -l logfile.txt -p proj.mlp -i input.obj -w outproj.mlp -s meshclean.mlx
