| filename | character: path to file | 
| clean | Logical: Delete dumpfiles. | 
| readcol | Logical: Import vertex colors (if available). | 
| adnormals | Logical: If the file does not contain normal information, they will be calculated in R: Can take some time. | 
| readnormals | Logical: Import vertex normals (if available), although no face information is present. | 
| silent | logical: suppress messages. | 
imports 3D mesh files and store them as an R .object of class mesh3d
| mesh  | list of class mesh3d - see rgl manual for further details, or a matrix containing vertex information or a list containing vertex and normal information |
