Rust bindings for Assimp (https://github.com/assimp/assimp)
# Overview
Russimp is a library for talking to the assimp library which enables you to read 3d models in different formats to a common structure.
These bindings are based on assimp v5.0.1.
## Helping
You are very welcome to help with development, adding a feature, fixing a problem or just refactoring.
Try to do it with tests =)
We need help to compile it on windows and on mac.
## Testing
To test the api on your local machine you will need to have the environment variable GITHUB_WORKSPACE set up with the project root path.
```shell
GITHUB_WORKSPACE=./ cargo test --verbose
```
# Requirements
## Rust
You will need rust stable, cmake, C and C++ compiler as well.
# How to use it?
Just call Scene::from with the filename and the flags you want. From the scene you will have access to the underlying structs.
```rust
let scene = Scene::from("myfile.blend",
vec![PostProcessSteps::CalcTangentSpace,
PostProcessSteps::Triangulate,
PostProcessSteps::JoinIdenticalVertices,
PostProcessSteps::SortByPType]).unwrap();
```
