Loading Meshes.jl types and geometries #72

Closed juliohm closed 3 years ago

juliohm commented 3 years ago

I am starting to implement subdivision and smoothing algorithms in Meshes.jl and will need to load real-world meshes from disk exactly like this package does. I am opening this issue to ask if there is any interest in replacing GeometryBasics.jl by Meshes.jl under the hood. If there is interest, I can submit PRs to this package for each file format as I develop the work, otherwise I can start a separate package with loaders that are compatible with the Meshes.jl data structures.

@sjkelly answered on Slack. I think the way forward is to write small packages like PlyIO.jl that represent the information in simple Julia arrays. End users can then decide which mesh type is more appropriate for their work.

I also learned about Assimp.jl and will try to use it too.
