Eduardo Costa 2e5e56c000 Re-enabling PACK_STRUCT for MDL files.
When using this compiler:

    Apple LLVM version 7.3.0 (clang-703.0.31)
    Target: x86_64-apple-darwin15.4.0
    Thread model: posix

The MDL::Frame is aligned in 8-byte boundaries instead of 4. This
generates this error when loading old Quake 1 MDL files:

    ERROR: Failed to load file: Invalid MDL file. The file is too small
    or contains invalid data (File: MDLLoader.cpp Line: 422)

It seems this error was introduced by commit
bd2af6591f due to compilation warnings.

Open Asset Import Library (assimp)

A library to import and export various 3d-model-formats including scene-post-processing to generate missing render data.

Current build status

Linux Build Status Windows Build Status Coverity Scan Build Status Patreon donate button Coverage Status Join the chat at https://gitter.im/assimp/assimp

APIs are provided for C and C++. There are various bindings to other languages (C#, Java, Python, Delphi, D). Assimp also runs on Android and iOS.

Additionally, assimp features various mesh post processing tools: normals and tangent space generation, triangulation, vertex cache locality optimization, removal of degenerate primitives and duplicate vertices, sorting by primitive type, merging of redundant materials and many more.

This is the development repo containing the latest features and bugfixes. For productive use though, we recommend one of the stable releases available from Github Assimp Releases.

Building

Take a look into the INSTALL file. Our build system is CMake, if you used CMake before there is a good chance you know what to do.

Ports

Other tools

open3mod is a powerful 3D model viewer based on Assimp's import and export abilities.

Repository structure

Open Asset Import Library is implemented in C++. The directory structure is:

/code		Source code
/contrib	Third-party libraries
/doc		Documentation (doxysource and pre-compiled docs)
/include	Public header C and C++ header files
/scripts 	Scripts used to generate the loading code for some formats
/port		Ports to other languages and scripts to maintain those.
/test		Unit- and regression tests, test suite of models
/tools		Tools (old assimp viewer, command line `assimp`)
/samples	A small number of samples to illustrate possible
                    use cases for Assimp
/workspaces	Build environments for vc,xcode,... (deprecated,
		CMake has superseeded all legacy build options!)

Where to get help

For more information, visit our website. Or check out the ./doc- folder, which contains the official documentation in HTML format. (CHMs for Windows are included in some release packages and should be located right here in the root folder).

If the docs don't solve your problem, ask on StackOverflow. If you think you found a bug, please open an issue on Github.

For development discussions, there is also a (very low-volume) mailing list, assimp-discussions (subscribe here)

Open Asset Import Library is a library to load various 3d file formats into a shared, in-memory format. It supports more than 40 file formats for import and a growing selection of file formats for export.
