Computes stable orientations of a mesh and their quasi-static probabilities.

This method samples the location of the center of mass from a multivariate gaussian (mean at com, cov equal to identity times sigma) over n_samples. For each sample, it computes the stable resting poses of the mesh on a a planar workspace and evaluates the probabilities of landing in each pose if the object is dropped onto the table randomly.

Subdivide a mesh, with each subdivided face replaced with four smaller faces.

Parameters

face_index: (m, ) int or None If None all faces of mesh will be subdivided If (m, ) int array of indices: only specified faces will be subdivided. Note that in this case the mesh will generally no longer be manifold, as the additional vertex on the midpoint will not be used by the adjacent faces to the faces specified, and an additional postprocessing step will be required to make resulting mesh watertight

`submesh`

submesh(
    faces_sequence, **kwargs
)

Return a subset of the mesh.

Parameters

faces_sequence : sequence (m, ) int Face indices of mesh only_watertight : bool Only return submeshes which are watertight append : bool Return a single mesh which has the faces appended. if this flag is set, only_watertight is ignored

Returns

if append : trimesh.Trimesh object else : list of trimesh.Trimesh objects

`to_dict`

to_dict()

Return a dictionary representation of the current mesh, with keys that can be used as the kwargs for the Trimesh constructor, eg:

a = Trimesh(**other_mesh.to_dict())

Returns

result : dict With keys that match trimesh constructor

`union`

union(
    other, engine=None, **kwargs
)

Boolean union between this mesh and n other meshes

Parameters

other : Trimesh or (n, ) Trimesh Other meshes to union engine : None or str Which backend to use

Returns

union : trimesh.Trimesh Union of self and other Trimesh objects

`unmerge_vertices`

unmerge_vertices()

Removes all face references so that every face contains three unique vertex indices and no faces are adjacent.

`unwrap`

unwrap(
    **kwargs
)

Returns a Trimesh object equivalent to the current mesh where the vertices have been assigned uv texture coordinates.

The vertices may be split into as many as necessary by the unwrapping algorithm, depending on how many uv maps they appear in.

Requires blender.

Returns

unwrapped : trimesh.Trimesh Mesh with unwrapped uv coordinates

`update_faces`

update_faces(
    mask
)

In many cases, we will want to remove specific faces. However, there is additional bookkeeping to do this cleanly. This function updates the set of faces with a validity mask, as well as keeping track of normals and colors.

Parameters

valid : (m) int or (len(self.faces)) bool Mask to remove faces

`update_vertices`

update_vertices(
    mask, inverse=None
)

Update vertices with a mask.

Parameters

vertex_mask : (len(self.vertices)) bool Array of which vertices to keep inverse : (len(self.vertices)) int Array to reconstruct vertex references such as output by np.unique

`voxelized`

voxelized(
    pitch, method='subdivide', **kwargs
)

Return a VoxelGrid object representing the current mesh discretized into voxels at the specified pitch

Parameters

pitch : float The edge length of a single voxel method: implementation key. See trimesh.voxel.creation.voxelizers **kwargs: additional kwargs passed to the specified implementation.

Returns

voxelized : VoxelGrid object Representing the current mesh

`add`

__add__(
    other
)

Concatenate the mesh with another mesh.

Parameters

other : trimesh.Trimesh object Mesh to be concatenated with self

Returns

concat : trimesh.Trimesh Mesh object of combined result

`radd`

__radd__(
    other
)

Concatenate the geometry allowing concatenation with built in sum() function: sum(Iterable[trimesh.Trimesh])

Parameters

other : Geometry Geometry or 0

Returns

concat : Geometry Geometry of combined result
