Simple OBJ Parser (SOP)

Simple OBJ File Format Parser written in C99. This library makes it easy to parse OBJ files for quickly loading simple models in OpenGL. The parser provides a callback interfaces giving the consumer the responsibility of storing Geometric Vertices (v), Texture Vertices (vt), Vertext Normals (vn), and Face Indices (f). This library can be built from source or consumed with clib.

Installation

Building from source

Building from source is simple:

• Clone the repository git clone [email protected]:littlstar/sop.git
• Change directory to project directory cd sop
• Build the library make
• Run tests make test
• Install into system make install (Uninstall with make uninstall)
• or copy static libary into your project with the headers found in include/

Adding to your clib project

Installing library source into your project

$ clib install littlstar/sop --save

Adding source to your project

In a Makefile

Append to the source explicitly:

SRC += $(wildcard deps/sop/*.c)

or everything found in deps/:

SRC += $(wildcard deps/*/*.c)

Append include path to CFLAGS explicitly:

CFLAGS += -Ideps

From the command line

$ gcc -Ideps deps/sop/*.c *.c

Usage/Example

Consider this simple model describing a cube
