Deserializer for OBJ data to JSCAD geometries

Overview

This deserializer converts raw OBJ formatted data (files) to JSCAD scripts or geometries.

NOTE: At this time, only ASCII OBJ files are supported. BINARY OBJ files are not supported.

This deserializer converts only what is supported by JSCAD libraries. Full document conversion is NOT supported, so don't even try. However, conversion of the following OBJ commands are possible:

OBJ Command	JSCAD Geometry	Notes
V	to geom3	vertices of polygons
F	to geom3	indexes to polygon vertices
G	to geom3	grouping of V and F to create polygons and geometry

Also, if the 'USEMTL' (material) matches the name of a CSS3 color then the color is applied to the geometry.
