Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Simplify an overly detailed 3D scan mesh to reduce file size before 3D printing.

REASON 2

Smooth or remesh a game asset to improve visual quality or performance.

REASON 3

Prototype new mesh-processing algorithms using the library's data structures.

REASON 4

View and process mesh files immediately with the included mpview application.
