gd-obj

.obj parser for Godot

Why?

As of Godot 3.2, Godot is unable to import .obj files outside of the res:// directory, or during application runtime. gd-obj allows either or both of these features. gd-obj supports uvs, faces, normals, and non triangulated meshes.

How to use?

Load from paths

Call ObjParse.load_obj(path_to_obj, path_to_mtl). This will return a Mesh which can, for example, be placed into the mesh field of a MeshInstance.

It will try to find a mtl path if nothing entered. But you can call the function manually ObjParse.search_mtl_path(path_to_obj).

You can also retrieve textures path from ObjParse.get_mtl_tex_paths(path_to_mtl) or textures path and data from ObjParse.get_mtl_tex(path_to_mtl).

Load from buffers

Call ObjParse.load_mtl_from_buffer(mtl_data,textures) to get the materials then call ObjParse.load_obj_from_buffer(obj_data,materials) to get the mesh.
