model-converter

This project aims to be a simple, lightweight, and useful 3D model editor. For the moment, only obj and ply ascii models are supported.

Feel free to open an issue if you find anything wrong in this.

Scripts

A few utilities to manage 3D models :

• convert.py that converts any type of model to any other
• viewer.py which is a simple script that renders a 3d model

Dependencies

This project is written in python 3. The convert.py script is made for needing nothing else than python. However, the viewer.py script has a few dependencies, you'll need :

• pip (to install the other dependencies) sudo apt-get install python3-pip for example
• numpy sudo pip install numpy
• pygame sudo pip install pygame
• PyOpenGL sudo pip install pyopengl

Supported formats

• Wavefront .obj
• Stanford .ply
• STL files .stl
