    Hello! After an update in scikit-image, pillow, I cannot generate mesh images anymore with Trimesh. Have you encountered this problem already?
    Instead of a mesh image, it generates a print-screen.
    @ChrisCarragher If your question is still open, I would export an mesh in STL format from your 3mf file, and then load this STL with Trimesh.

    @mikedh
    hey @ChrisCarragher a 3MF can contain multiple meshes, you can access them through scene.geometry or dump them all into a single mesh with scene.dump(concatenate=True)
    @science-code were you using scene.save_image?
    Mihai ANDRIES
    @science-code
    @mikedh I use this:
    # Example: https://github.com/mikedh/trimesh/issues/115#issuecomment-351866100
data = mesh.scene().save_image(resolution=[1480,1480], visible=False)
rendered = Image.open(trimesh.util.wrap_as_stream(data))
rendered.show()
    $ pip show pillow
    Version: 7.0.0
    Required-by: scikit-image, imageio
    Name: scikit-image
    Version: 0.15.0
    Name: imageio
    Version: 2.8.0

    hmm if anything I would suspect a recent pyglet upgrade for this
    they released recently

    @mikedh it seems that the error comes from this part:
    data = scene.save_image(resolution=[480,480], visible=True) #False)
    It works with "visible=True", but does not work with "visible=False".
    Moreover, even with "visible=True", the first mesh image is completely black.

    @science-code
    @mikedh Any ideas from where this might come?
    Mihai ANDRIES
    @science-code
    Currently using this alternative, which has the same fault (every once in a while, a mesh image is just black):

    Alternative code for generating a mesh-image

    from trimesh import viewer as trimesh_viewer

    ...

    data = trimesh_viewer.render_scene(mesh.scene(), resolution=[480,480], visible=True)

    I suppose it also slows down image generation, due to "visible=True".

    @ChrisCarragher
    @mikedh Thank you!
    Mihai ANDRIES
    @science-code
    @mikedh I would be grateful for any suggestion you may have :-)

    Hey, whether visible=False works depends a lot on your platform: mikedh/trimesh#125

    Hi. I can't find this anywhere, but my goal is to take an STL of a non-uniformly curved surface and determine how to cut a flat sheet to cover it with as few segments as possible. Any thoughts on how to approach it using trimesh?
    Mihai ANDRIES
    @science-code
    @wwwslinger if your object is convex, you could use a convex envelope.
    @wwwslinger another alternative would be to simplify the mesh while enforcing constraints on its surface. You can use the "Decimate" function of MeshLabServer for this.
    @mikedh It used to work with visible=False, but stopped since I installed some python packages. The platform is the same as before, so this isn't the issue. I've tried to identify which python package broke the mesh-image generation, but in vain.
    Jason McInerney
    @wwwslinger
    It is convex @science-code , thanks. Simplifying would be cool, too, since it does has some structure past the surface edges that I need to somehow cut off
    @science-code I can seem to find Decimate in there, just ParaDecimate -- is that the same? Do you have link to an example perhaps?
    Mihai ANDRIES
    @science-code
    @wwwslinger here's a python code that does the simplification down to 2000 triangles in the final mesh:
    https://gitlab.com/mandries/mesh-decimation/-/blob/master/mesh_simplify.py

    You need to install meshlab for that work.
    To change the number of triangles in the final mesh, edit the value on line 21:

    <Param type="RichInt" value="2000" name="TargetFaceNum"/>

    @science-code thanks for the script. I tested it out, but am getting a not found for the Remove Unreferenced Vertex Filter. Is there a default somewhere that I can plug in?
    Mihai ANDRIES
    @science-code
    @wwwslinger Try to remove that line, it will probably work without it.
    To have the exact code for any operation on the mesh in MeshLab, go to "Filter > Show current filter script".
    See the exact name of the operation in your version of MeshLab, as use that one instead.
    Those filters are just for cleaning the mesh.

    Hi, I am looking for a simple way to solve this problem in python: I have a mesh of a roof. The real object is composed of planes intersecting at sharp angles. However, the mesh I have has several thousand faces. I am looking for a way to merge all adjacent faces whose normals are within a certain angle. In other words, I want to merge all nearly coplanar faces. Is there a trimesh way of doing this? I was looking at trimesh.grouping.group_vectors, but I don't know how to enforce connectivity and also I don't know how to merge the groups.

    Hello all, I want to compute the mean/gaussian curvature over a mesh and I'm looking at the curvature.ipynb example with the following code: discrete_gaussian_curvature_measure(mesh, mesh.vertices, r)/sphere_ball_intersection(1, r)
    But I don't really understand what the sphere_ball_intersection(1,r) call is about... what exactly is this example showing? Can I use this to calculate curvature at every vertex for an arbitrary mesh? How would I know what value of r to use?

    Hello. For my project, I need to measure the distance between two STL files. I wrote a script that allows reading the files, positioning them in relation to each other in the desired position . I saw the module Trimesh.collision because it looks like a mesh - mesh comparer . So I tried to use min_distance_single to "get the minimum distance between any pair of objects, one in each manager" but I receive and error like this
    Captura de ecrã 2020-04-13, às 11.19.46.png
    I tried to upload a mesh from a .stl file (ASCII) . I discover this library recently, is there a module that can make me discover the distance between those two objects? I also wrote the question here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61159587/measure-distance-between-meshes?noredirect=1#comment108198970_61159587

    Hi there. Just sharing something I'm working on that uses Trimesh:

    Hi, I am just wondering if anyone has any recommends as to how to create an interactive UI with trimesh. I want a user to be able to open a file containing multiple meshes, display the meshes and have the user select one. Currently, I can open the file and modify meshes and extract information and show meshes I'm just not sure how I would allow a user to select one. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi all! I have a problem where I need to take a mesh "A" and divide it into 3 smaller, seperate meshes. I am slightly overwhelmed by the documentation and I am not sure which trimesh functions should I be using for this task. I've discovered graph.Split() (which reduced the amount of original vertices..?), Submesh() or trimesh.remesh.Subdivide()
    Also is the functionality available which allows to specify the number parts in which I want to subdivide my mesh? example 3, 4 or 5 equal parts?
    Jose Juan Montes
    @jjmontesl
    As far as I know, there is no "splitting" option with the semantics you mention. Subdividing is actually adding triangles, so that's not what you are looking for.
    Note that I don't know the entire API well, but as far as I know you have operations to:
