convert-to-threejs

Utility for converting model files to the Three.js JSON format

Supported Formats

• Fbx (.fbx) (versions 7.3, 7.2, 7.1, 7.0, 6.1, and 6.0) (non-binary)
• Collada (.dae) (1.5 and earlier)
• Wavefront/Alias (.obj)
• 3D Studio Max (.3ds)

Usage

convert_to_threejs.py [source_file] [output_file] [options]

Options:
  -t, --triangulate     force quad geometry into triangles
  -x, --no-textures     don't include texture references in the output file
  -p, --no-prefix       don't prefix object names in the output file
  -c, --default-camera  include a default camera in the output scene
  -l, --defualt-light   include a default light in the output scene

Supported Features

• Object Hierarchies
• Lights (Ambient, Point, Directional)
• Cameras (Perspective, Ortho)
• Geometries (Triangles, Quads, Nurbs)
• Materials (Phong, Lambert)
• Textures (Diffuse, Emissive, Ambient, Specular, Normal, Bump)
• Multiple UV layers
• Multiple materials per mesh

Current Limitations

• No skeletal animation support
• Only Lambert and Phong materials are supported
• Some camera and light properties are not converted correctly

Dependencies

FBX SDK

• Requires Autodesk FBX SDK Python 2013.3 bindings.

You can download the python bindings from the Autodesk website: 
  http://usa.autodesk.com/fbx/

Don't forget the visit the FBX SDK documentation website:
  http://docs.autodesk.com/FBX/2013/ENU/FBX-SDK-Documentation/cpp_ref/index.html

Python

• Requires Python 2.6 or 3.1 (The FBX SDK requires one of these versions)

sudo apt-get install build-essential
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.8/Python-2.6.8.tar.bz2
tar jxf ./Python-2.6.8.tar.bz2
cd ./Python-2.6.8
./configure --prefix=/opt/python2.6.8 && make && make install

Todo List

• fix light and camera conversion (some properties are not correctly converted)
• add support for skeletal animations
• add support for fog conversion
