Re: [Assimp-discussions] How does ASSIMP handle duplicate geometry?

[Christopher K. K. <ck...@gm...>]

Thanks; I guess I can add my name to the list of people? :)

 

What is the base of support you are looking for in this area? I understand this may be a bit of work but I am confident this would be a popular feature if added; makes loading geometry much easier and less resource intensive.

 

Extremely difficult to deal with duplicate data otherwise.

 

Thank you for your response and consideration.

 

Regards,

Hi,

 

what you are asking for is geometry instancing. If I am right we discussed this topic and the decision was made to wait untile enough people asking for it. At the moment we do not support this.

Hello,

 

As the title suggests, I would like to know how ASSIMP handles duplicate geometry?

 

In AutoDESK’s FBX SDK, for example, if you have nodes/geometry for 10 chairs, for example, you would get the mesh cloud for the first chair and then references to the rest of the chairs plus the specific chair’s data like world position and materials.

Is there such functionality with ASSIMP?

 

Thank you for your time.
