Description
MeshLab for Android is an advanced 3D model viewer for Android. MeshLab for Android has been designed to be able to display complex 3D objects in a simple and intuitive way, allowing the accurate inspection of a 3D model through a precise yet straightforward navigation.
- Read meshes from a variety of standard 3D formats (PLY, STL, OFF, OBJ)
- Open 3D models directly from web pages, email attachments, DropBox or through file space area
- Navigate the model in a very intuitive way. Look at the videos in the screenshot page
- Efficiently show highly complex models.
This application has been developed by the Visual Computing Lab a research group of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), the same team that has developed MeshLab, the leading open source mesh processing system (the resemblance between the names of the two applications is intentional). We are going to add, in the next versions, more and more advanced and innovative features to make it become a powerful tool for the presentation, inspection, analysis and review of 3D objects.
MeshLab for Android relies on the VCG library and on OpenGL ES for efficient mesh processing and visualization.

"Ministro cannot satisfy your application dependencies" "Ministro cannot satisfy your application dependencies" wtf ? Goes no further. Says it needs ministro,play store offers me ministro2. References qt lib and kde lib but doesn't seemnto have been finished or usable. Nexus 10.
I like MeshLab for Android. I like MeshLab for Android. But I really really wish it would have an option for displaying edges. I could not find options for various display modes aside from point cloud , flat and shaded. There are many other simple permutations ... at least one of which should involve showing edges in some clear way. Wireframe composite over shared or over flat would be nice.
An outstanding beginning. This is difficult to install. It requires the Ministro service to find and download it's Qt dependencies (those come from KDE). That may require two or three attempts while it tries to work them out. No idea how you would back those up? Although the models included have the suffix .ply it will take .obj files. Those have to be place into it's folder before starting the program for it to see them. Having seen other programs fail miserably and seeing the smoothness of this I have no hesitation in giving it 5 stars. My Elephant was huge and it loaded it in seconds and rotated it smoothly. Next we need the program updated to do textures and then to pose the objects being viewed, and then to load two or more at the same time (and a landscape with a sky etc, etc.), and then some animation. So it's a good start but we need textures and posing and then rendering our finished result. Presently it seems to be a viewer, but you already new what the files were supposed to look like right? Now we want it to do something with the object? Still kudos for make it work at all, include the dependencies with the file and you have a complete program.
Doesn't work for me :( Cant seem to get it to work on my galaxy note 2. I did the ministro 2 downloads and nothing. Disappointed.
GREAT ! ! ! Ministro on the other hand is having some issues. I don't know who's fault it is and I'm not pointing fingers. I used TB to freeze the states of Meshlab and Ministro (when their working) and if they get a hiccup, I just restore their state. I think that it would help to work out the issues between Meshlab and Ministro so that more people could use this app easily. Thank you Meshlab and Ministro for making this app free.
Not opening my files It opens only the 3 models (rabbit, brain...). When I try to open my STL files it sais wait and crashes (Samsung galaxy s3). Can you fix it please?

Fast, handles big colored models, UI could be better <p>This app is quite good. It is fast, handles big models, and supports multiple formats, including color. <p> You need to transfer models from another device into the local file system. <p> The UI is intuitive, but could use some improvements. On my Nexus 5 (where it now works thanks to the recent Ministro II update), the text in the left-hand panel is too small. The buttons at the bottom do not always respond immediately. A button to reset the view would be helpful.
Muy buena aplicación Sin duda una de las mejores para visualizar modelos en formato .obj
Doesn't work on GS3 Doesn't work on GS3 with jelly bean. Excellent app when I tried it on GS2 with ICS. Please fix that error
Nice great tool, knew it from laptop, now on tablet. No problems as yet on this asus transformer.

Listen Read Device Only Added Installed KiwiViewer is a free, open-source visualization app for exploring scientific and medical datasets. KiwiViewer opens a variety of file formats including obj, stl, ply, vtk, vtp, vtu, vti, mha, g, and pdb. Datasets can be opened from the SD card or DropBox, or downloaded from a URL. Scenes consisting of multiple datasets can be loaded into KiwiViewer using a simple comma-separated-value file format.
KiwiViewer provides ParaViewWeb connectivity, enabling users to join a live ParaViewWeb session and download the scene for local visualization. Also included with KiwiViewer are several visualization demos such as an interactive brain atlas viewer, an animated time-series dataset, and a 3D image slice plane widget.
KiwiViewer is powered by VTK (the Visualization Toolkit) and VES (the VTK OpenGL ES 2.0 Rendering Engine.) Visit kiwiviewer.org for more information. There, you can download the source code to these projects, and use VTK, VES, and the Kiwi Platform to create your own visualization applications for mobile devices.
If your favorite file format is not supported, let us know! Contact us at kiwiviewer@public.kitware.com. You can also use the ParaView desktop application (paraview.org) to convert files for KiwiViewer.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus owners: there is an issue that may cause the device to reboot while running KiwiViewer. Avoid screen orientation changes while the camera is rotating.
