Tutorial to Simplify 3D Mesh using Meshlab

Overview

This tutorial walks you through the steps to simplify a 3D mesh using Meshlab. Simplification of the mesh reduces the number of vertices and faces, which helps reduce the computational cost of the rendering part of FoundationPose algorithm.

Tutorial Walkthrough

1. Download and install Meshlab from the official website.

2. Click on File -> Import Mesh and select the .obj file you want to simplify:

   

   

3. Click on the Filters -> Remeshing, Simplification and Reconstruction -> Simplification : Quadratic Edge Colapse Simplification:

   

4. Modify the percentage reduction value and click on Apply and then Close:

   

5. Click on File -> Export Mesh As and select the .obj format:
