Struct tobj::Mesh

pub struct Mesh {
    pub positions: Vec<f32>,
    pub normals: Vec<f32>,
    pub texcoords: Vec<f32>,
    pub indices: Vec<u32>,
    pub material_id: Option<usize>,
}

A mesh made up of triangles loaded from some OBJ file

It is assumed that all meshes will at least have positions, but normals and texture coordinates are optional. If no normals or texture coordinates where found then the corresponding vecs for the mesh will be empty. Values are stored packed as floats in vecs, eg. the positions member of a loaded mesh will contain [x, y, z, x, y, z, ...] which you can then use however you like. Indices are also loaded and may re-use vertices already existing in the mesh, this data is stored in the indices member.

Example:

Load the Cornell box and get the attributes of the first vertex. It's assumed all meshes will have positions (required), but normals and texture coordinates are optional, in which case the corresponding Vec will be empty.

use std::path::Path;

let cornell_box = tobj::load_obj(&Path::new("cornell_box.obj"));
assert!(cornell_box.is_ok());
let (models, materials) = cornell_box.unwrap();

let mesh = &models[0].mesh;
let i = mesh.indices[0] as usize;
// pos = [x, y, z]
let pos = [mesh.positions[i * 3], mesh.positions[i * 3 + 1],
            mesh.positions[i * 3 + 2]];

if !mesh.normals.is_empty() {
    // normal = [x, y, z]
    let normal = [mesh.normals[i * 3], mesh.normals[i * 3 + 1],
                  mesh.normals[i * 3 + 2]];
}

if !mesh.texcoords.is_empty() {
    // texcoord = [u, v];
    let texcoord = [mesh.texcoords[i * 2], mesh.texcoords[i * 2 + 1]];
}

Fields

positions: Vec<f32>

Flattened 3 component floating point vectors, storing positions of vertices in the mesh

normals: Vec<f32>

Flattened 3 component floating point vectors, storing normals of vertices in the mesh. Not all meshes have normals, if no normals are specified this Vec will be empty

texcoords: Vec<f32>

Flattened 2 component floating point vectors, storing texture coordinates of vertices in the mesh. Not all meshes have normals, if no texture coordinates are specified this Vec will be empty

indices: Vec<u32>

Indices for vertices of each triangle. Each face in the mesh is a triangle and the indices specify the position, normal and texture coordinate for each vertex of the face.

material_id: Option<usize>

Optional material id associated with this mesh. The material id indexes into the Vec of Materials loaded from the associated MTL file
