solved Export mesh to OBJ

[Myjestic]

Hi,

I have generated a mesh with more than 16k vertices and I want to import it  to meshlab to simplify it.

Now my first problem is, I need the mesh as OBJ File.

I found a link to the babylon asset convert tool, but the link does not work anymore.

Second attempt was to export the mesh as OBJ from my scene and I found the "babylon.objSerializer.js".

I don't know how to use it.

 

I included the js file after including my babylon.js file and the class is available know.

Here is my code so far:

var serializedScene = BABYLON.OBJ(maze);
download_to_OBJ("maze.obj",serializedScene);

function download_to_OBJ(filename, text) {
    var pom = document.createElement('a');
    pom.setAttribute('href', 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURIComponent(text));
    pom.setAttribute('download', filename);

    if (document.createEvent) {
        var event = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
        event.initEvent('click', true, true);
        pom.dispatchEvent(event);
    }
    else {
        pom.click();
    }
}

The OBJ serializer provides two static methods:

BABYLON.OBJExport.OBJ(mesh: Mesh[], materials?: boolean, matlibname?: string, globalposition?: boolean)

and

BABYLON.OBJExport.MTL(mesh: Mesh)

Both returning a string (technically the content of your .obj and .mtl file).  So calling those functions, you will get two strings. you can console.log them, you can copy them (if it is a one-time thing) or download them (for example - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21893463/javascript-to-download-string )

Hey RaananW,

thanks. But I can't get it to work.

BABYLON.OBJExport.OBJ(mymesh, false, "", false);

OBJ-File holds no info.

Can you show me how to use it on this PG?

Hi,

we don't include the obj exporter in the playground, and you pasted the code after the return, so this will anyhow never work.

Please check the signature I pasted - the first variable is an array of meshes. so in your case it would be:

BABYLON.OBJExport.OBJ([mymesh]);

the rest of the variables are optional and not needed.
