  • The installer will open First window In the left pane click the checkboxes of Universal Windows Platform Development and Desktop development with C++ In the right page enable the C++/CLI support checkbox
  • Click on install. This will take while since it needs to download +16GB

Download meshmonk

  • Create a folder called c:\Users\<username>\Documents\GitHub if you do not already have it
  • Place downloaded/cloned meshmonk files from this GitHub repository into c:\Users\<username>\Documents\GitHub\meshmonk

Install libraries

Configure Visual Studio project

Screencast on how to configure & build

As an alternative to building the library yourself, wou may use the precompiled version of 'meshmonk.lib' in the 'builds' folder of the meshmonk download.

Import project

  • File -> New -> Project From existing code
  • Choose Visual c++
  • Choose project file location as c:\Users\<username>\Documents\GitHub\meshmonk
  • Type meshmonk as name
  • Click Next
  • Choose Project Type: Static Library (LIB) project
  • Click Next
  • Click Finish

Configure Solution

  • Choose for Solution Configurations: Release
  • Choose for Solution Platform: x64

Configure Solution

Retarget Solution

  • In the Solution Explorer
  • Right-click on Solution 'meshmonk'
  • Click on Retarget solution
  • Choose a Windows SDK version higher than 10
  • Click Ok

Configure Solution

Exclude files from the project

  • In the Solution Explorer window, find the following files, then right click each and select Exclude from project:
  • In the Header Files:
    • nanaflann.hpp
  • In the Source Files:
    • compute_correspondences.cpp
    • compute_inlier_weights.cpp
    • compute_nonrigid_transformation.cpp
    • compute_normals.cpp
    • compute_rigid_transformation.cpp
    • downsample_mesh.cpp
    • example.cpp
    • mystream.cpp
    • nonrigid_registration.cpp
    • pyramid_registration.cpp
    • rigid_registration.cpp
    • scaleshift_mesh.cpp
    • test_meshmonk_mexing.cpp

Configure properties

When you start configuring the properties you need to make sure that you have selected the meshmonk project. Otherwise the configuration is not applied to this projects. E.g:

Solution Selection

Open Project -> Properties:

  • Go to General -> Project Defaults -> Configuration Type: change to Static library(.lib). Press Apply. This changes the Linker configuration options to Librarian. If this didn't happen, please close and re-open the Properties

  • Go to C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories: add the following directories, then press Apply.

    C:\Users\<username>\Documents\GitHub\eigen-eigen-3.3.4
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\GitHub\meshmonk\vendor
C:\Program Files\OpenMesh 6.3\include

    This includes Eigen, OpenMesh and Nanoflann.

    Note: adapt these paths to the paths where you've installed the source code and libraries.

  • Go to C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor Definitions: type _USE_MATH_DEFINES then press Apply

  • Go to Librarian -> General -> Additional Dependencies -> edit:

    C:\Program Files\OpenMesh 6.3\lib\OpenMeshCore.lib
C:\Program Files\OpenMesh 6.3\lib\OpenMeshTools.lib

    Note: adapt these paths as well to the paths where you've installed OpenMesh.

  • Hit Ok, then Apply, then Ok.

Build project

  • Go to Build -> Rebuild Solution

This will build the static library. The result meshmonk.lib can be found in C:\Users\<username>\Documents\GitHub\meshmonk\x64\Release.

Matlab

After you've build the library you will have to copy/paste the file to a folder which is in matlab path. Either the root folder of matlab or the relative root folder of the matlab files that you're working on.
