Hi Rene,

sorry to check in so late, but if you want you might also wonna check
our rviz plugin for meshes:
http://tum-ros-pkg.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tum-ros-pkg/stacks/ias_visualization/triangle_mesh_rviz_plugin/

It works together with the triangle_mesh message:
http://tum-ros-pkg.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tum-ros-pkg/stacks/ias_visualization/triangle_mesh_msgs/
