1: Experimental loaders

2: Indicates very limited support - many of the format's features don't map to Assimp's data structures.

3: These formats support animations, but ASSIMP doesn't yet support them (or they're buggy)

Example

All data structures mirror those in the original library. See the documentation for more information.

-- Post-processing flags.
processing = CalcTangentSpace
         .|. Triangulate
         .|. JoinIdenticalVertices
         .|. SortByPType

-- Just call `importFile` with the name of the file and the
-- post-processing flags.
