Rendering a 3D model in matlab

I am trying to render these models in Matlab so that I can sample them and then use their shape for my research work.

My question is that: Is there a way to render 3D models, used in different 3D graphics engines, in Matlab?

I have found something similar but it only loads an obj mesh.

Update: I have also found an answer which uses OpenGL function in a mex file to access the graphics of a figure and get the depth buffer. However what I am trying to do is to render a model within a matlab figure.

Solution

  • Take a look at: http://www.openu.ac.il/home/hassner/projects/poses/

    I understand that it's still not completely stable, but they're working on it.

    Anyway, this lets you render to a matrix and then do whatever you like with it (imshow it, imwrite it, etc.)
