geo/FileOBJ

Imports the geometry of a Wavefront .obj file.

Files

Reads the positions, texture coordinates and normals of a .obj and produces one object per `o` record the file declares. Faces with more than 3 corners are triangulated as a fan, and corners are welded by their vertex/uv/normal triple, so a file this node's exporter wrote comes back with the point count it left with. Normals are computed from the faces when the file carries none. Geometry only: materials (.mtl, `usemtl`), vertex colors, and the line and point records are not imported. A `g` starts a new object rather than a group inside one, so groups within an object are not represented.

Parameters

Name Type What it does
path AssetPath Path or URL of the .obj file to read.
reload Button Re-reads the file from disk, to pick up an edit made outside Polygon.
setNameFromPath Bool Name every imported object after the file instead of after the `o` record it came from.
