I have seen [this post](https://medium.com/geekculture/3d-animations-made-simple-with-matlab-visualizing-flight-test-data-and-simulation-results-ed399cdcc711) with a matlab example that I would like to emulate in Julia. As a summary I would like to plot a 3d model loaded from a mesh file (.stl or similar) and rotate it “real time” according to a time series.
What Julia library would you use? Do you now any similar examples I could look at?

I’d most likely be looking at [Home](https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/) - see e.g. this example [http://juliaplots.org/MakieReferenceImages/gallery//textured\_mesh/index.html](http://juliaplots.org/MakieReferenceImages/gallery//textured_mesh/index.html) for the mesh, and this [https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/animation.html#A-Simple-Example](https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/animation.html#A-Simple-Example) for the time updating.

There’s also [MeshCat.jl](https://github.com/rdeits/MeshCat.jl) which binds to WebGL 3D viewer.
EDIT: Here’s an [example](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/591886/36703991-41b6991a-1b2c-11e8-8804-24c56ddd94cc.png) from that page:
