Detailed Description

The Mesh — the central data structure for 3D geometry in scimesh.

A Mesh is an indexed face set: vertices are stored once in an array, and triangles reference them by index. This is the standard representation used in computer graphics, file formats like OBJ/STL/PLY, and GPU buffers.

Data layout (indexed face set)

vertices = [v0, v1, v2, v3, ...]          // 3D positions
triangles = [{v0=0, v1=1, v2=2}, ...]     // indices into vertices[]
colors = [c0, c1, c2, c3, ...]            // per-vertex colors (optional)
normals = [n0, n1, n2, n3, ...]           // per-vertex normals (optional)
uvs = [uv0, uv1, uv2, uv3, ...]           // texture coordinates (optional)
