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.

You can also use the SoSceneWriter module to export your 3D scenes from MeVisLab into any of the output formats listed below.
