convert-to-threejs

Utility for converting model files to the Three.js JSON format

Supported Formats

• Fbx (.fbx)
• Collada (.dae)
• Wavefront/Alias (.obj)
• 3D Studio Max (.3ds)

Usage

convert_to_threejs.py [source_file] [output_file] [options]

Options:
  -t, --triangulate       force non-triangle geometry into triangles
  -x, --ignore-textures   don't include texture references in output file
  -u, --force-prefix      prefix all object names in output file to ensure uniqueness
  -f, --flatten-scene     merge all geometries and apply node transforms
  -c, --add-camera        include default camera in output scene
  -l, --add-light         include default light in output scene
  -p, --pretty-print      prefix all object names in output file

Current Limitations

• No animation support
• Only Lambert and Phong materials are supported
• Some camera properties are not converted correctly
• Some light properties are not converted correctly
• Some material properties are not converted correctly
• Textures must be put in asset's folder, and use relative path in the material
