tinyobjloader
=============

http://syoyo.github.io/tinyobjloader/

Tiny but poweful single file wavefront obj loader written in C++. No dependency except for C++ STL. It can parse 10M over polygons with moderate memory and time.

Good for embedding .obj loader to your (global illumination) renderer ;-)


Example
-------

![Rungholt](https://github.com/syoyo/tinyobjloader/blob/master/images/rungholt.jpg?raw=true)

tinyobjloader can successfully load 6M triangles Rungholt scene.

Features
--------

* Group
* Vertex
* Texcoord
* Normal
* Material
  * Unknown material attributes are treated as key-value.

Notes
-----

Polygon is converted into triangle.

Data format
attrib_t contains single and linear array of vertex data(position, normal and texcoord).

attrib_t::vertices => 3 floats per vertex

       v[0]        v[1]        v[2]        v[3]               v[n-1]
  +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+      +-----------+
  | x | y | z | x | y | z | x | y | z | x | y | z | .... | x | y | z |
  +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+      +-----------+

attrib_t::normals => 3 floats per vertex

       n[0]        n[1]        n[2]        n[3]               n[n-1]
  +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+      +-----------+
  | x | y | z | x | y | z | x | y | z | x | y | z | .... | x | y | z |
  +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+      +-----------+

attrib_t::texcoords => 2 floats per vertex

       t[0]        t[1]        t[2]        t[3]               t[n-1]
  +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+      +-----------+
  |  u  |  v  |  u  |  v  |  u  |  v  |  u  |  v  | .... |  u  |  v  |
  +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+      +-----------+

attrib_t::colors => 3 floats per vertex(vertex color. optional)

       c[0]        c[1]        c[2]        c[3]               c[n-1]
  +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+      +-----------+
  | x | y | z | x | y | z | x | y | z | x | y | z | .... | x | y | z |
  +-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+      +-----------+

Each shape_t::mesh_t does not contain vertex data but contains array index to attrib_t. See loader_example.cc for more details.


mesh_t::indices => array of vertex indices.

  +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+     +--------+
  | i0 | i1 | i2 | i3 | i4 | i5 | i6 | i7 | i8 | i9 | ... | i(n-1) |
  +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+     +--------+

Each index has an array index to attrib_t::vertices, attrib_t::normals and attrib_t::texcoords.

mesh_t::num_face_vertices => array of the number of vertices per face(e.g. 3 = triangle, 4 = quad , 5 or more = N-gons).
