Overview ------------------------------- - -Open Asset Import Library is a Open Source library designed to load various 3d -file formats and convert them into a shared, in-memory format. It supports more -than 30 file formats (basically, it is like DevIL for 3D models). It also -supports exporting, but the number of export formats is lower. - -Its short name is 'assimp', which is an unintended joke (the abbreviation is -derived from 'Asset Importer'). - -Note: this README refers to the file structure used by release packages, which -differs in some points from the development trunk. - ----------------- - 1.1 Supported file formats ----------------- - -The library provides importers for a lot of file formats, including: - - 3DS - - BLEND - - DAE (Collada) - - IFC-STEP - - ASE - - DXF - - HMP - - MD2 - - MD3 - - MD5 - - MDC - - MDL - - NFF - - PLY - - STL - - X - - OBJ - - SMD - - LWO - - LXO - - LWS - - XML - - TER - - AC3D - - MS3D - -Exporters include: - - DAE (Collada) - - STL - - OBJ - - .. See http://assimp.sourceforge.net/main_features_formats.html for - a more exhaustive list. - - ----------------- -1.2 Repository structure ----------------- - -Open Asset Import Library is implemented in C++ (but provides both a C and a -C++ish interface). The directory structure is: - - /bin Folder for binaries, only used on Windows - /code Source code - /contrib Third-party libraries - /doc Documentation (doxysource and pre-compiled docs) - /include Public header C and C++ header files. - /lib Static library location for Windows. - /obj Object file location for Windows. - /port Ports to other languages and scripts to maintain those. - /test Unit- and regression tests, test suite of models. - /tools Tools (viewer, command line `assimp`). - /samples A small number of samples to illustrate possible - use cases for Assimp. - /workspaces Build enviroments for vc,xcode,... (deprecated, - CMake has superseeded all legacy build options!) - - ------------------------------- -2. Build the library ------------------------------- - -Take a look into the INSTALL file. - - ------------------------------- -3. Where to get help ------------------------------- - -For more information, visit http://assimp.sourceforge.net/. Or have a look into -the ./doc- folder, which contains the official documentation in HTML format. -(CHMs for Windows are included in some release packages and should be located -right here in the root folder). - -If the documentation doesn't solve your problems, try our forums at SF.net -> Open Discussion: http://sourceforge.net/projects/assimp/forums/forum/817653) -> General Help: http://sourceforge.net/projects/assimp/forums/forum/817654 - -For development stuff, there is also a mailing list, assimp-discussions - subscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assimp-discussions - - ------------------------------- -4. License ------------------------------- - -The license of the Asset Import Library is based on the modified, 3-clause BSD- -License, which is a very liberal license. An _informal_ summary is: do whatever -you want, but include Assimp's license text with your product - and don't sue -us if our code doesn't work. - -Note that, unlike LGPLed code, you may link statically to Assimp. -For the formal details, see the LICENSE file. - +See Readme.md |
