Raw Normal View History

General - Added format auto-detection to most loaders - Simplified BaseImporter::CanRead() with some utility methods - improved fast_atof -> no overruns anymore. Fuck you, irrlicht. - added assimp_cmd tool to allow command line model processing. Mainly adebugging tool for internal purposes, but others might find it useful, too. - vc8/vc9: revision number is now written to DLL version header - mkutil: some batch scripts to simplify tagging & building of release versions - some API cleanup - fixing some doxygen markup (+now explicit use of @file <filename>) - Icon for assimp_view and assimp_cmd 3DS - Normal vectors are not anymore inverted in some cases - Improved pivot handling - Improved handling of x-flipped meshes Collada - fixed a minor bug (visual_scene element) LWS - WIP implementation. No animations yet, some bugs and crashes. - Animation system remains disabled, WIP code - many test files for LWS, but most of them test the anim support, which is, read above, currently disabled. STL - fixing a log warning which appears for every model - added binary&ascii test spider, exported from truespace MD3 - Cleaning up output tags for automatically joined player models. IRR - Fixing coordinate system issues. - Instance handling improved. - Some of the reported crashes not yet fixed. PretransformVertices - Numerous performance improvements. - Added config option to preserve the hierarchy during the step. RemoveRedundantMaterials - Added config option to specify a list of materials which are kept in every case. UNREAL - Added support for the old unreal data format (*.a,*.d,*.uc) - tested only with exports from Milkshape - more Unreal stuff to come soon git-svn-id: https://assimp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/assimp/trunk@356 67173fc5-114c-0410-ac8e-9d2fd5bffc1f

c) navigate to ./doc
d) and run 'doxygen'
Open the generated HTML (AssimpDoc_Html/index.html) in the browser of your choice.
Windows only: To generate the CHM doc, install 'Microsoft HTML Workshop'
and configure the path to it in the DOXYFILE first.

Building Assimp with CMake is 'business as usual' if you've used CMake
before. All steps can be done either on the command line / shell or
by using the CMake GUI tool, the choice is up to you.

First, invoke CMake to generate build files for a particular
toolchain (for standard GNU makefiles: cmake -G 'Unix Makefiles').
Afterwards, use the generated build files to perform the actual
build.
