A parser for wavefront .obj and .mtl files
Reads out wavefront objects to dictionaries with their attributes, including their materials::
from wavefront_reader import read_wavefront, read_objfile, read_mtlfile
geoms = read_wavefront('myObjects.obj')
cube = geoms['Cube']
cube_vertices = cube['v']
cube_diffuse_material = cube['material']['Kd']The module has a lot of tests, and handles face indexing by re-indexing the vertex, normal, and texcoord arrays simply by reindexing them into same-length, sequential arrays. While this reduces the memory benefits of the .obj format, it makes it much easier to load the data into OpenGL or reindex the data yourself.
