About

Wavefront OBJ parser (& exporter soon). This is a support package for @thi.ng/geom.

Features

  • Geometry split into declared objects & groups by default (can be disabled)
  • Full support for n-gon faces, polylines
  • Optional n-gon face tessellation into triangles
  • Support for relative (negative) vertex references
  • Optional vertex, normal & UV transforms (e.g. convert Y-up / Z-up, flip UVs)
  • Skip parsing/processing of UVs and/or normals
  • Per group mtllib and usemtl references
  • Per group smooth flags
  • Optionally retained comments (e.g. for additional metadata parsing)
  • Fast (~100 verts, normals & faces per millisecond, MBP2015, Node 13.10)

Planned features

  • OBJ export
  • MTL parser

Status

ALPHA - bleeding edge / work-in-progress
