@hippie/obj v0.0.3

obj

obj is a parser for the ".obj" model files defined by Wavefront Technologies. It parses only the polygons in obj files and return a list contained all the vertices, UVs and normals.

For a group containing multiple models, the parser does not restore the tree structure of the models since all vertices are converted to world coordinates, but returns a list of all models

Install

npm i @hippie/obj

Usage

import parseObj from '@hippie/obj'

const models = parseObj(str, opt)

opt

• name: string - a customized name for printing, the default value is "obj"
• showTime: boolean - display the parsing time, the default value is true

Examples

import parseObj from '@hippie/obj'

const [model] = parseObj(`
  # This file uses centimeters as units for non-parametric coordinates.

console.log(model)

So, we can combine it with webgl:

// do something...

const posLoc = gl.getAttribLocation(program, 'a_position');
const texLoc = gl.getAttribLocation(program, 'a_texCoord');

const posBuffer = gl.createBuffer();
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, posBuffer);
gl.bufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, model.vertices), gl.STATIC_DRAW);


const texBuffer = gl.createBuffer();
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, texBuffer);
gl.bufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, model.uvs), gl.STATIC_DRAW);


gl.vertexAttribPointer(posLoc, size, type, normalize, stride, offset);

gl.viewport(0, 0, gl.canvas.width, gl.canvas.height);

gl.useProgram(program);
gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
gl.drawElements(model.indices);
