ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

MeshLab

Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes when you color or draw on a piece of paper, you can see the lines and bumps from the paper itself? That's kind of like what happens when we make 3D shapes on the computer too.

Meshlab is a special tool that helps us smooth out those lines and bumps so we can see the 3D shape better. It's like running your hand over a smooth rock instead of a bumpy one, so you can feel its shape better.

With Meshlab, we can also make changes to 3D shapes. We can move parts around, fix mistakes we made, or even create new 3D shapes from scratch! It's a really cool tool that helps us understand and work with 3D shapes better.
