trimesh.exchange.obj

Functions

export_obj(mesh[, include_normals, …])

Export a mesh as a Wavefront OBJ file.

load_obj(file_obj[, resolver, split_object, …])

Load a Wavefront OBJ file into kwargs for a trimesh.Scene object.

parse_mtl(mtl[, resolver])

Parse a loaded MTL file.
trimesh.exchange.obj.export_obj(mesh, include_normals=True, include_color=True, include_texture=True, return_texture=False, write_texture=True, resolver=None, digits=8)

Export a mesh as a Wavefront OBJ file. TODO: scenes with textured meshes

Parameters

  • mesh (trimesh.Trimesh) – Mesh to be exported

  • include_normals (bool) – Include vertex normals in export

  • include_color (bool) – Include vertex color in export

  • bool (include_texture) – Include vt texture in file text

  • return_texture (bool) – If True, return a dict with texture files

  • write_texture (bool) – If True and a writable resolver is passed write the referenced texture files with resolver

  • resolver (None or trimesh.resolvers.Resolver) – Resolver which can write referenced text objects

  • digits (int) – Number of digits to include for floating point

Returns

  • export (str) – OBJ format output

  • texture (dict) – [OPTIONAL] Contains files that need to be saved in the same directory as the exported mesh: {file name : bytes}

trimesh.exchange.obj.load_obj(file_obj, resolver=None, split_object=False, group_material=True, **kwargs)

Load a Wavefront OBJ file into kwargs for a trimesh.Scene object.

Parameters

  • file_obj (file like object) – Contains OBJ data

  • resolver (trimesh.visual.resolvers.Resolver) – Allow assets such as referenced textures and material files to be loaded

  • split_object (bool) – Split meshes at each o declared in file

  • group_material (bool) – Group faces that share the same material into the same mesh.

Returns

kwargs – Keyword arguments which can be loaded by trimesh.exchange.load.load_kwargs into a trimesh.Scene

Return type

dict

trimesh.exchange.obj.parse_mtl(mtl, resolver=None)

Parse a loaded MTL file.

Parameters

  • mtl (str or bytes) – Data from an MTL file

  • resolver (trimesh.Resolver) – Fetch assets by name from file system, web, or other

Returns

mtllibs – Each dict has keys: newmtl, map_Kd, Kd

Return type

list of dict
