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

## Usage
### Data format
`attrib_t` contains single and linear array of vertex data(position, normal and texcoord).
```
attrib_t::vertices => 3 floats per vertex
v[0] v[1] v[2] v[3] v[n-1]
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ +-----------+
| x | y | z | x | y | z | x | y | z | x | y | z | .... | x | y | z |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ +-----------+
attrib_t::normals => 3 floats per vertex
n[0] n[1] n[2] n[3] n[n-1]
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ +-----------+
| x | y | z | x | y | z | x | y | z | x | y | z | .... | x | y | z |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ +-----------+
attrib_t::texcoords => 2 floats per vertex
t[0] t[1] t[2] t[3] t[n-1]
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ +-----------+
| u | v | u | v | u | v | u | v | .... | u | v |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ +-----------+
attrib_t::colors => 3 floats per vertex(vertex color. optional)
c[0] c[1] c[2] c[3] c[n-1]
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ +-----------+
| x | y | z | x | y | z | x | y | z | x | y | z | .... | x | y | z |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+ +-----------+
```
Each `shape_t::mesh_t` does not contain vertex data but contains array index to `attrib_t`.
See `loader_example.cc` for more details.
```
mesh_t::indices => array of vertex indices.
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ +--------+
| i0 | i1 | i2 | i3 | i4 | i5 | i6 | i7 | i8 | i9 | ... | i(n-1) |
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ +--------+
Each index has an array index to attrib_t::vertices, attrib_t::normals and attrib_t::texcoords.
mesh_t::num_face_vertices => array of the number of vertices per face(e.g. 3 = triangle, 4 = quad , 5 or more = N-gons).
+---+---+---+ +---+
| 3 | 4 | 3 | ...... | 3 |
+---+---+---+ +---+

|/ |/ |/ |/
mesh_t::indices
| face[0] | face[1] | face[2] | | face[n-1] |
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ +--------+--------+--------+
| i0 | i1 | i2 | i3 | i4 | i5 | i6 | i7 | i8 | i9 | ... | i(n-3) | i(n-2) | i(n-1) |
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ +--------+--------+--------+
```
Note that when `triangulate` flas is true in `tinyobj::LoadObj()` argument, `num_face_vertices` are all filled with 3(triangle).
### float data type
TinyObjLoader now use `real_t` for floating point data type.
Default is `float(32bit)`.
You can enable `double(64bit)` precision by using `TINYOBJLOADER_USE_DOUBLE` define.
#### Example code
```c++
#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];
tinyobj::real_t vx = attrib.vertices[3*idx.vertex_index+0];
tinyobj::real_t vy = attrib.vertices[3*idx.vertex_index+1];
tinyobj::real_t vz = attrib.vertices[3*idx.vertex_index+2];
tinyobj::real_t nx = attrib.normals[3*idx.normal_index+0];
tinyobj::real_t ny = attrib.normals[3*idx.normal_index+1];
tinyobj::real_t nz = attrib.normals[3*idx.normal_index+2];
tinyobj::real_t tx = attrib.texcoords[2*idx.texcoord_index+0];
tinyobj::real_t ty = attrib.texcoords[2*idx.texcoord_index+1];
// Optional: vertex colors
// tinyobj::real_t red = attrib.colors[3*idx.vertex_index+0];
// tinyobj::real_t green = attrib.colors[3*idx.vertex_index+1];
// tinyobj::real_t blue = attrib.colors[3*idx.vertex_index+2];
}
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 baseline)
## Tests
Unit tests are provided in `tests` directory. See `tests/README.md` for details.
