Mesh (Raw Data)

TheA Mesh entity stores a raw mesh. Currently, only the FBX and OBJ mesh formats are supported.

Upload raw 3D surface meshesgeometry, such as terrain models, structural designs, or scanned objects. VoxelSpace currently supports mesh uploads in the FBX and OBJ or FBX formats.

Useful for infrastructure, CAD designs, and high-detail scanned models.
