Load 3d mesh files

[toloudis]

Use Case

Some computational workflows are producing 3d meshes and it can be useful to view them in conjunction with the original volume data.

Solution

mesh gets loaded and if simple enough, deposited into a new “Channel”.
channel settings will have “Vol” checkbox disabled
maybe add a couple of interesting mesh display settings like wireframe or smooth/faceted
depends on solving depth testing against volume rendering
Lots more ui implications which make this kind of messy (transparency, url parameters???)
