ObjToIv converts Obj data files to Inventor 2.0 files.
NAME
ObjToIv [-a] [ -h ] [-q] [- | [outfile] ]
Where
Wavefront (.obj) file to convert. If is absent or '-' input
is taken from stdin.
Inventor file. If is absent output goes to stdout.
-a
Ignore separate the groups from the .OBJ file into separate objects
in the Inventor (.iv) file. Elements that are in more than one group
will be duplicated under the Inventor objects.
-h
Display the usage guide
-v
Verbose: output processing information
-q
Quiet mode - no errors reported
This translator converts Wavefront OBJ files into Inventor 2.0 files.
The translator will be bundled with SGI computers and available to SGI
customers. It is a license from Acuris to SGI for use by SGI customers.
Currently the following are handled.
Polygonal Meshes
Groups (it works best if the groups are unique, polygons belonging
to more than one group will be duplicated in the Inventor file
This will be improved for the release version. )
Materials - Colors do come through as defined in the .mtl library.
Remember to set the WF_MTL_LIB environment variable to the location
of the material library file used by the obj file.
Textures - it is assumed the *.tex bitmap files
have been converted to *.rgb files and the the WF_MTL_LIB environment
variable has been set.
Smoothing groups in Wavefront are not converted into smoothing groups
in Inventor. Inventor's own smoothing algorithms are used.
The translator has the following bugs:
1. Curves and Surfaces are not translated yet. Will be done by
next release date (update).
The following is the output of ObjToIv -h
