AssimpCy

BUILD STATUS

Fast Python bindings for Assimp, Cython-based, BSD3 license.

It uses the same function names as the original library, so examples from c++ tutorials can be used with minor changes.

It has been tested on:

• Windows 7, 10
• Linux
• Mac
• Python 3.7 - 3.10
• Pypy

Example usage:

from assimpcy import aiImportFile, aiPostProcessSteps as pp 
flags = pp.aiProcess_JoinIdenticalVertices | pp.aiProcess_Triangulate 
scene = aiImportFile('somemodel.3ds', flags)
print('Vertex 0 = {}'.format(scene.mMeshes[0].mVertices[0]))

Matrices, quaternions and vectors are returned as Numpy arrays.

Requirements:

• Numpy >= 1.21.3

(Assimp 5.0.1 is included in the binary wheel)
