question: how to generate the output mesh instead of point clouds

[codesavory]

Hi, Thank you for your amazing work. I have a couple of questions -

1. when running python main.py --config configs/config_demo.yaml - generate a bunch of ply files which are point clouds, can any parameter be changed in the config file or in the code to get a bunch of mesh files?
2. trying to generate mesh using - python render/o3d_render_pcl.py --model_name SCALE_demo_00000_simuskirt and modifying to mesh = o3d.io.read_triangle_mesh(fn) using an idea from this issue #4 generate a warning message - [Open3D WARNING] geometry::TriangleMesh appears to be a geometry::PointCloud (only contains vertices, but no triangles) and generates empty white images.

Can you kindly help generate meshes instead of point clouds from your pipeline.

The SCALE model is a point-based model; the output from the code is always a point set. To get a mesh, you can run mesh reconstruction algorithms such as Poisson Surface Reconstruction, on the output point set. This can be done in e.g. Meshlab.
