This repo contains a "no export" build of assimp v3.2. Prebuilt DLLs are provided for various versions of Visual Studio. This repo contains only the documentation, header files, and dlls/libs. The full v3.2 source from the assimp team can be found here: assimp v3.2 release on GitHub
The following assimp defines were used during compilation:
- ASSIMP_BUILD_DLL_EXPORT
- ASSIMP_BUILD_BOOST_WORKAROUND
- ASSIMP_BUILD_NO_EXPORT
- ASSIMP_BUILD_NO_C4D_IMPORTER
- ASSIMP_BUILD_NO_OPENGEX_IMPORTER
Open Asset Import Library is a library to load various 3d file formats into a shared, in-memory format. It supports more than 40 file formats for import and a growing selection of file formats for export.
APIs are provided for C and C++. There are various bindings to other languages (C#, Java, Python, Delphi, D). Assimp also runs on Android and iOS.
Additionally, assimp features various mesh post processing tools: normals and tangent space generation, triangulation, vertex cache locality optimization, removal of degenerate primitives and duplicate vertices, sorting by primitive type, merging of redundant materials and many more.
This is the development trunk containing the latest features and bugfixes. For productive use though, we recommend one of the stable releases available from assimp.sf.net or from *nix package repositories. The current build status is:
Linux
Windows
Coverity

Take a look into the INSTALL file. Our build system is CMake, if you used CMake before there is a good chance you know what to do.
Open Asset Import Library is implemented in C++. The directory structure is:
/code Source code
/contrib Third-party libraries
/doc Documentation (doxysource and pre-compiled docs)
/include Public header C and C++ header files
/scripts Scripts used to generate the loading code for some formats
/port Ports to other languages and scripts to maintain those.
/test Unit- and regression tests, test suite of models
/tools Tools (old assimp viewer, command line `assimp`)
/samples A small number of samples to illustrate possible
use cases for Assimp
/workspaces Build enviroments for vc,xcode,... (deprecated,
CMake has superseeded all legacy build options!)
For more information, visit our website. Or check out the ./doc- folder, which contains the official documentation in HTML format.
(CHMs for Windows are included in some release packages and should be located right here in the root folder).
If the docs don't solve your problem, ask on StackOverflow. If you think you found a bug, please open an issue on Github.
For development discussions, there is also a (very low-volume) mailing list, assimp-discussions (subscribe here)
And we also have an IRC-channel at freenode: #assetimporterlib . You can easily join us via: KiwiIRC/freenote, choose your nickname and type
