# Minetest Wavefront `.obj` file format specification
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Minetest Wavefront `.obj` is a subset of [Wavefront `.obj`](http://paulbourke.net/dataformats/obj/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is inferred from the [Minetest Irrlicht `.obj` reader](https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht/blob/master/source/Irrlicht/COBJMeshFileLoader.cpp).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`.mtl` files are not supported since Minetest's media loading process ignores them due to the extension.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Lines / "Commands"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Irrlicht only looks at the first characters needed to tell commands apart (imagine a prefix tree of commands).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Superfluous parameters are ignored.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Numbers are formatted as either:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Float: An optional minus sign (`-`), one or more decimal digits, followed by the decimal dot (`.`) then again one or more digits
|
||
|
|
* Integer: An optional minus sign (`-`) followed by one or more decimal digits
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Indexing starts at one. Indices are formatted as integers. Negative indices relative to the end of a buffer are supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Comments: `# ...`; unsupported commands are silently ignored as well
|
||
|
|
* Groups: `g <name>` or `usemtl <name>`
|
||
|
|
* Subsequent faces belong to a new group / material, no matter the supplied names
|
||
|
|
* Each group gets their own material (texture); indices are determined by order of appearance
|
||
|
|
* Empty groups (groups without faces) are ignored
|
||
|
|
* Vertices (all numbers): `v <x> <y> <z>`, global to the model
|
||
|
|
* Texture Coordinates (all numbers): `vt <x> <y>`, global to the model
|
||
|
|
* Normals (all numbers): `vn <x> <y> <z>`, global to the model
|
||
|
|
* Faces (all vertex/texcoord/normal indices); always local to the current group:
|
||
|
|
* `f <v1> <v2> <v3>`
|
||
|
|
* `f <v1>/<t1> <v2>/<t2> ... <vn>/<tn>`
|
||
|
|
* `f <v1>//<n1> <v2>/<n2> ... <vn>/<nn>`
|
||
|
|
* `f <v1>/<t1>/<n1> <v2>/<t2>/<n2> ... <vn>/<tn>/<nn>`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Coordinate system orientation ("handedness")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Vertex & normal X-coordinates are inverted ($x' = -x$);
|
||
|
|
texture Y-coordinates are inverted as well ($y' = 1 - y$).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```obj
|
||
|
|
# A simple 2³ cube centered at the origin; each face receives a separate texture / tile
|
||
|
|
# no care was taken to ensure "proper" texture orientation
