Assimp
Asset-Importer-Lib (assimp) Introduction Assimp (Asset-Importer-Lib) is a library to load and process geometric scenes from various 3D data formats.
This chapter provides some examples of how 3D formats can be imported into MeVisLab. In general you always need a SoSceneLoader module. The SoSceneLoader allows to load meshes as Open Inventor points/lines/triangles/faces using the Open Asset Import Library.
SoSceneLoader You can also use the SoSceneWriter module to export your 3D scenes from MeVisLab into any of the output formats listed below.
Example 1: 3D Printing in MeVisLab Introduction This example uses the assimp library to load a 3D file and save the file as *.stl for 3D printing.
Steps to do Develop your network Add the modules SoSceneLoader, SoBackground and SoExaminerViewer to your workspace and connect them as seen below.
Example Network Open the 3D file Select the file vtkCow.obj from MeVisLab demo data directory. Open SoExaminerViewer and inspect the scene. You will see a 3D cow.
