Other tools

open3mod is a powerful 3D model viewer based on Assimp’s import and export abilities. Assimp-Viewer is an experimental implementation for an Asset-Viewer based on ImGUI and Assimp (experimental).

Repository structure

Open Asset Import Library is implemented in C++. The directory structure looks like this:

/code		Source code
/contrib	Third-party libraries
/doc		Documentation (doxysource and pre-compiled docs)
/fuzz           Contains the test code for the Google Fuzzer project
/include	Public header C and C++ header files
/scripts 	Scripts are 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

The source code is organized in the following way:

code/Common			The base implementation for importers and the infrastructure
code/CApi                       Special implementations which are only used for the C-API
code/Geometry                   A collection of geometry tools
code/Material                   The material system
code/PBR                        An exporter for physical-based models
code/PostProcessing		The post-processing steps
code/AssetLib/<FormatName>	Implementation for import and export of the format
