Java Wavefront Reader

A library for reading wavefront files (.obj) and transforming them to Java Arrays of float. These arrays can then be used by OpenGL (for VertexBufferObjects). The arrays are collected inside a data structure called Wavefront.

Requirements

• Java 16
• Maven 3.8.1 (only if you want to build/extend it)

How to use

Import this library to your project

<!!TODO maven central repository!!>

call the following function:

WavefrontReader.fromResource(filename)

• filename is the path and filename to the .obj file in your resource folder.

This returns a Wavefront data structure with filled float arrays for:

• vertices
• texture coordinates (only if information in .obj file is available)
• normals (only if information in .obj file is available)

The Process
