The STL to Ogre Mesh converter is a command line tool in the ogre_tools package. It currently only works on binary STL files. Its usage (which will be printed out if you run with no arguments) is:
stl_to_mesh <stl files> <output directory>
or
stl_to_mesh <stl file> <output file>
Example usage:
rosrun ogre_tools stl_to_mesh *.STL ../pr2
This will generate output similar to:
Converting multiple meshes, into output directory ../pr2... Converting base.STL to ../pr2/base.mesh... 5960 triangles Converting body.STL to ../pr2/body.mesh... 3832 triangles Converting caster.STL to ../pr2/caster.mesh... 13959 triangles Converting el-pitch.STL to ../pr2/el-pitch.mesh... 15719 triangles Converting fa-roll.STL to ../pr2/fa-roll.mesh... 10462 triangles Converting head-pan.STL to ../pr2/head-pan.mesh... 12570 triangles Converting head-tilt.STL to ../pr2/head-tilt.mesh... 860 triangles Converting sh-pan.STL to ../pr2/sh-pan.mesh... 10526 triangles Converting sh-pitch.STL to ../pr2/sh-pitch.mesh... 9716 triangles Converting sh-roll.STL to ../pr2/sh-roll.mesh... 20500 triangles Converting wheel.STL to ../pr2/wheel.mesh... 10300 triangles Converting wr-pitch.STL to ../pr2/wr-pitch.mesh... 16160 triangles Converting wr-roll.STL to ../pr2/wr-roll.mesh... 15256 triangles
rosrun ogre_tools stl_to_mesh caster.STL caster.mesh
This will generate output similar to:
Converting single mesh: caster.STL to caster.mesh Converting caster.STL to caster.mesh... 13959 triangles
