本文将介绍如何从Obj文件格式中创建3D对象,我们使用的是Nate Miller的obj格式加载类。
This would be very useful to create large Virtual Reality applications as we could make use of the readily available 3D model files or make use of modeling tools to create these models and load them instead of creating them programatically. The .obj format is a very simple and popular format and files of other types such 3D Studio (.3ds) can be exported to this format or converted using tools such as 3D Exploration. This .obj loading code cannot read textures, it can only also read .mtl files in addition to the .obj file and thus make use of material data too.
