Babylon.js .obj File Loader

#Demo To use it, you just have to reference the loader file:

<script src="babylon.2.1.js"></script>
<script src="babylon.objFileLoader.js"></script>

Babylon.js will know how to load the obj file and its mtl file automatically:

BABYLON.SceneLoader.Load("/assets/", "batman.obj", engine, function (newScene) { 
   // ...
});

var loader = new BABYLON.AssetsManager(scene);
var batman = loader.addMeshTask("batman", "", "assets/", "batman.obj");

BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh("batmanface", "batman.obj", scene, function (meshes) { 
   // ...
});

Good things to know

• Your model doesn't have to be triangulated, as this loader will do it automatically.
• A Babylon.Mesh will be created for each object/group
• The obj model should be exported with -Z axis forward, and Y axis upward to be compatible with Babylon.js

Supported

• Object/group
• Faces
  • triangles
  • quads
  • polygons
• Colors
  • diffuseColor
  • ambientColor
  • specularColor
  • specularPower
  • alpha
• Textures
  • ambientTexture
  • diffuseTexture
  • specularTexture
  • bumpTexture
  • opacityTexture
• Multimaterial
  • For each material defined in the same mesh, it creates a new BABYLON.Mesh.
  • The name of the created BABYLON.Mesh follows this syntax: meshName_mmX
  • X is the nth BABYLON.Mesh created with this method
    

Not supported currently

• Smoothing groups (s parameter in OBJ file)
• Illumination (illum parameter in MTL file)
• The differents options for loading textures in MTL file.
• A good description about MTL file and his options could be found here: http://paulbourke.net/dataformats/mtl/
