The faces can be accessed with faces(load("foo.obj")) or mesh.faces.

Probably the easiest way to display the mesh at this point is with
ThreeJS.jl:
https://github.com/rohitvarkey/ThreeJS.jl/blob/master/examples/mesh.jl.
This approach should work in IJulia and Blink.

GLVisualize has some good demos and a much more responsive backend, but it
needs some work to run in OpenGL < 3.3 and the working commits aren't on
Metadata yet. Meshes is kind of a weird state right now, and most of the
functionality can be had with GeometryTypes, Meshing, and MeshIO. We have
been working the past few months to finish the coupling between data
structures for geometry and visualization. It would be great to hear your
application, and see if we could achieve something in the short term that
would work for you. Personally I use Meshlab when I do solid modelling in
Julia which slows down my iteration time, and it would be nice to have a
mesh viewer in the workflow.

Best,
Steve
