Notes on Lab08 and sequent labs:
In this project, we import a mesh in OFF format, apply a some computation over it, and export it in OBJ format.
How to prepare the input meshes: you can download any mesh from anywhere in any format, and then, convert it to OFF format using MeshLab (import it, then export it). Or, just download and unzip one example from the lab page (bottom). Then, place in into the data/input folder.
How to make sure your program finds the input data: make sure the program is exectued from the source folder (ask your IDE);
OR, move the "data" folder from the source folder to wherever your executable is located and run from;
OR, change the path in the code (main.cpp), to use a global path pointing to where the data is (e.g. "C:\[...]\data").
How to inspect inputs or outputs: if your OS doesn't natively understand meshes, you can use any program capable of visualizing them. For example, MeshLab is light, free and OpenSource.
