Load 3D Models

Object (.obj) and Material (.mtl) Support

3D models in .obj format can be loaded by yourgame, optionally together with a material template library .mtl.

This is what yourgame does:

• Normals remain unchanged, preserving edges and smooth areas
  • Note for Blender: the options Shade Smooth and Shade Flat have an impact on the exported .obj data
• The diffuse color Kd from materials (.mtl) is attached to the .obj data during import and provided as Color input to the vertex shader
  • This way, Vertex Color Shading can be performed
  • See GLSL Shaders on how to use vertex color in Shaders

Tools and 3D Assets

These 3D tools can be used to create yourgame compatible data:

• Blender
• Blockbench
• ... potentially many more

Some ready-to-use game assets can be imported directly without modification:

• .obj based 3D game assets, made by Kenney
• ... potentially many more
