Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
TriMeshImager
Transform your photos into unique digital art using triangular mesh generation. Choose from various patterns, shapes, and color schemes to create intricate designs, from simple meshes to complex floral and dot patterns. It can also be used to decorate existing photos.
- Generates triangular mesh from photos
- Converts images to vector drawings
- Multiple mesh types: Grid, Circles, Painting, Stained Glass, Contour
- Customizable patch and node shapes
- Coloring based on image intensity or user specification
- Wave deformation for edges
- Use as a photo decorator

TriMeshImager generates a triangular mesh from a photo, and converts it to a vector image (drawing art). You can easily experience a digital art that converts to triangle, flower or heart pattern from photo. As mesh converter, one of the five types - "Grid", "Concentric Circles", "Painting", "Stained Glass", or "Contour" can be selected. The patches(triangles) and nodes(vertexes of triangle) of triangular mesh are drawn with color decided by user specified method. Voronoi diagram (polygon with vertices at circumcenter of triangle) can be displayed. You can get geometric pattern like turtle's shell. As patch shape, there are triangle, petal, heart, clover and gear. As node shape, circle, diamond, heart, gear and text can be selected. The color of inside and edge of patch or node, is decided with specified color, image color, or gradation derived from image intensity. Moreover, from Ver.3.2, edges of triangle or Voronoi cell can be deformed like wave shape. From these combination, you can get not only simple triangular mesh but also more complex flower pattern or dot pattern. Because the original image can be specified as a background image, this app can be also used as a photo decorator.
