tinyobjloader

http://syoyo.github.io/tinyobjloader/

Tiny but powerful single file wavefront obj loader written in C++. No dependency except for C++ STL. It can parse 10M over polygons with moderate memory and time.

tinyobjloader is good for embedding .obj loader to your (global illumination) renderer ;-)

If you are looking for C89 version, please see https://github.com/syoyo/tinyobjloader-c .

Notice!

We have released new version v1.0.0 on 20 Aug, 2016. Old version is available v0.9.x branch https://github.com/syoyo/tinyobjloader/tree/v0.9.x

What's new

20 Aug, 2016 : Bump version v1.0.0. New data strcutre and API!

Features

Group(parse multiple group name)
Vertex
Texcoord
Normal
Material
- Unknown material attributes are returned as key-value(value is string) map.
Crease tag('t'). This is OpenSubdiv specific(not in wavefront .obj specification)
PBR material extension for .MTL. Its proposed here: http://exocortex.com/blog/extending_wavefront_mtl_to_support_pbr
Callback API for custom loading.

Usage

attrib_t contains single and linear array of vertex data(position, normal and texcoord). Each shape_t does not contain vertex data but contains array index to attrib_t. See loader_example.cc for more details.

#define TINYOBJLOADER_IMPLEMENTATION // define this in only *one* .cc
#include "tiny_obj_loader.h"

std::string inputfile = "cornell_box.obj";
tinyobj::attrib_t attrib;
std::vector<tinyobj::shape_t> shapes;
std::vector<tinyobj::material_t> materials;
  
std::string err;
bool ret = tinyobj::LoadObj(&attrib, &shapes, &materials, &err, inputfile.c_str());
  
if (!err.empty()) { // `err` may contain warning message.
  std::cerr << err << std::endl;
}

if (!ret) {
  exit(1);
}

// Loop over shapes
for (size_t s = 0; s < shapes.size(); s++) {
  // Loop over faces(polygon)
  size_t index_offset = 0;
  for (size_t f = 0; f < shapes[s].mesh.num_face_vertices.size(); f++) {
    int fv = shapes[s].mesh.num_face_vertices[f];

    // Loop over vertices in the face.
    for (size_t v = 0; v < fv; v++) {
      // access to vertex
      tinyobj::index_t idx = shapes[s].mesh.indices[index_offset + v];
      float vx = attrib.vertices[3*idx.vertex_index+0];
      float vy = attrib.vertices[3*idx.vertex_index+1];
      float vz = attrib.vertices[3*idx.vertex_index+2];
      float nx = attrib.normals[3*idx.normal_index+0];
      float ny = attrib.normals[3*idx.normal_index+1];
      float nz = attrib.normals[3*idx.normal_index+2];
      float tx = attrib.texcoords[2*idx.texcoord_index+0];
      float ty = attrib.texcoords[2*idx.texcoord_index+1];
    }
    index_offset += fv;

    // per-face material
    shapes[s].mesh.material_ids[f];
  }
}

Optimized loader

Optimized multi-threaded .obj loader is available at experimental/ directory. If you want absolute performance to load .obj data, this optimized loader will fit your purpose. Note that the optimized loader uses C++11 thread and it does less error checks but may work most .obj data.

Here is some benchmark result. Time are measured on MacBook 12(Early 2016, Core m5 1.2GHz).

Rungholt scene(6M triangles)
- old version(v0.9.x): 15500 msecs.
- baseline(v1.0.x): 6800 msecs(2.3x faster than old version)
- optimised: 1500 msecs(10x faster than old version, 4.5x faster than basedline)

Tests

Unit tests are provided in tests directory. See tests/README.md for details.
