Gazebo can't read color information from dae or stl mesh files

Hi, I want to insert a map that I generate. These maps are generate from point clouds (using PCL) and then, I generate mesh map using MeshLab. In MeshLab and Blender, I can see that the dae or stl files contains color information (in vertices and faces). However in the Gazebo simulator, these meshes are white. I tried to version of these files; 1. exported using MeshLab, 2. exported using Blender. How can I load color information from dae or stl mesh files generated from point clouds?

STL doesn't contain color information. Would you mind uploading one of the collada/dae files that doesn't show color in gazebo?

Hi, I uploaded files.zip and it contains 00_mesh.dae and 00_mesh_face.dae. Both files are generated using MeshLab and Blender. 00_mesh.dae has color information on vertices and 00_mesh_face.dae has it on faces.

I uploaded the file but I can't see it on this post. If you can see it either, can I send the file via other ways?

I don't see the files either. I tried adding a file to your post but I see allowed file types are '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.gif', '.bmp', '.png', '.tiff', '.launch', '.yaml', '.c', '.cc', '.cpp', '.h', '.hh', '.hpp', '.py', '.proto', '.msg', '.srv', '.sdf', '.model', '.world'. How about creating an issue on https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo and uploading the files there?
