PyAssimp Readme
|
||
|
|
===============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-- a simple Python wrapper for Assimp using ctypes to access
|
||
|
|
the library. Requires Python >= 2.6.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Python 3 support is mostly here, but not well tested.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that pyassimp is not complete. Many ASSIMP features are missing. In
|
||
|
|
particular, only loading of models is currently supported (no export).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
USAGE
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To get started with pyAssimp, examine the sample.py script in scripts/, which
|
||
|
|
illustrates the basic usage. All Assimp data structures are wrapped using
|
||
|
|
ctypes. All the data+length fields in Assimp's data structures (such as
|
||
|
|
'aiMesh::mNumVertices','aiMesh::mVertices') are replaced by simple python
|
||
|
|
lists, so you can call len() on them to get their respective size and access
|
||
|
|
members using [].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, to load a file named 'hello.3ds' and print the first
|
||
|
|
vertex of the first mesh, you would do (proper error handling
|
||
|
|
substituted by assertions ...):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
from pyassimp.core import *
|
||
|
|
scene = load('hello.3ds')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
assert len(scene.meshes)
|
||
|
|
mesh = scene.meshes[0]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
assert len(mesh.vertices)
|
||
|
|
print(mesh.vertices[0])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# don't forget this one, or you will leak!
|
||
|
|
release(scene)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Another example to list the 'top nodes' in a
|
||
|
|
scene:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
from pyassimp.core import *
|
||
|
|
scene = load('hello.3ds')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for c in scene.rootnode.children:
|
||
|
|
print(str(c))
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
release(scene)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
INSTALL
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install pyassimp by running:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> python setup.py install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PyAssimp requires a assimp dynamic library (DLL on windows,
|
||
|
|
so on linux :-) in order to work. The default search directories
|
||
|
|
are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- the current directory
|
||
|
|
- on linux additionally: /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build that library, refer to the Assimp master INSTALL
|
||
|
|
instructions. To look in more places, edit ./pyassimp/helper.py.
|
||
|
|
There's an 'additional_dirs' list waiting for your entries.
