UV coordinates for terrains are so simple to compute that you'll usually want to compute them on your own, if you need them. This option is intended for model viewers which want to offer an easy way to apply textures to terrains.

Gets the string name used by TerragenComputeTexCoordsConfig.

Constructs a new TerragenComputeTexCoordsConfig.

True if terran UV coordinates should be computed, false otherwise.

Configures the ASE loader to always reconstruct normal vectors basing on the smoothing groups loaded from the file. Some ASE files carry invalid normals, others don't. The default value is true.

Gets the string name used by ASEReconstructNormalsConfig.

Constructs a new ASEReconstructNormalsConfig.

True if normals should be re-computed, false otherwise.

Configures the M3D loader to detect and process multi-part Quake player models. These models usually consit of three files, lower.md3, upper.md3 and head.md3. If this propery is set to true, Assimp will try to load and combine all three files if one of them is loaded. The default value is true.

Gets the string name used by MD3HandleMultiPartConfig.

Constructs a new MD3HandleMultiPartConfig.

True if the split files should be loaded and combined, false otherwise.

Tells the MD3 loader which skin files to load. When loading MD3 files, Assimp checks whether a file named "md3_file_name"_"skin_name".skin exists. These files are used by Quake III to be able to assign different skins (e.g. red and blue team) to models. 'default', 'red', 'blue' are typical skin names. The default string value is "default".

Gets the string name used by MD3SkinNameConfig.

Constructs a new MD3SkinNameConfig.

The skin name.

Specifies the Quake 3 shader file to be used for a particular MD3 file. This can be a full path or relative to where all MD3 shaders reside. the default string value is an empty string.

Gets the string name used by MD3ShaderSourceConfig.

Constructs a new MD3ShaderSourceConfig.

The shader file.

Configures the LWO loader to load just one layer from the model. LWO files consist of layers and in some cases it could be useful to load only one of them. This property can be either a string - which specifies the name of the layer - or an integer - the index of the layer. If the property is not set then the whole LWO model is loaded. Loading fails if the requested layer is not vailable. The layer index is zero-based and the layer name may not be empty The default value is false (all layers are loaded).

Gets the string name used by LWOImportOneLayerConfig.

Constructs a new LWOImportOneLayerConfig.

True if only one layer should be imported, false if all layers should be imported.

Configures the MD5 loader to not load the MD5ANIM file for a MD5MESH file automatically. The default value is false. The default strategy is to look for a file with the same name but with the MD5ANIm extension in the same directory. If it is found it is loaded and combined with the MD5MESH file. This configuration option can be used to disable this behavior.

Gets the string name used by MD5NoAnimationAutoLoadConfig.

Constructs a new MD5NoAnimationAutoLoadConfig.

True if animations should not be automatically loaded, false if they should be.

Defines the beginning of the time range for which the LWS loader evaluates animations and computes AiNodeAnim's. The default value is the one taken from the file. Assimp provides full conversion of Lightwave's envelope system, including pre and post conditions. The loader computes linearly subsampled animation channels with the frame rate given in the LWS file. This property defines the start time. Animation channels are only generated if a node has at least one envelope with more than one key assigned. This property is given in frames where '0' is the first. By default, if this property is not set, the importer takes the animation start from the input LWS file ('FirstFrame' line)

Gets the string name used by LWSAnimationStartConfig.

Constructs a new LWSAnimationStartConfig.

Beginning of the time range

Defines the ending of the time range for which the LWS loader evaluates animations and computes AiNodeAnim's. The default value is the one taken from the file Assimp provides full conversion of Lightwave's envelope system, including pre and post conditions. The loader computes linearly subsampled animation channels with the frame rate given in the LWS file. This property defines the end time. Animation channels are only generated if a node has at least one envelope with more than one key assigned. This property is given in frames where '0' is the first. By default, if this property is not set, the importer takes the animation end from the input LWS file.

Gets the string name used by LWSAnimationEndConfig.

Constructs a new LWSAnimationEndConfig.

Ending of the time range

Defines the output frame rate of the IRR loader. IRR animations are difficult to convert for Assimp and there will always be a loss of quality. This setting defines how many keys per second are returned by the converter. The default value is 100 frames per second.

Gets the string name used by IRRAnimationFrameRateConfig.

Constructs a new IRRAnimationFramerateConfig.

Number of frames per second to output.

The Ogre importer will try to load this MaterialFile. Ogre meshes reference with material names, this does not tell Assimp where the file is located. Assimp will try to find the source file in the following order: [material-name].material, [mesh-filename-base].material, and lastly the material name defined by this config property. The default value is "Scene.Material".

Gets the string name used by OgreMaterialFileConfig.

Constructs a new OgreMaterialFileConfig.

Material file name to load.

The Ogre importer will detect the texture usage from the filename. Normally a texture is loaded as a color map, if no target is specified in the material file. If this is enabled, then Assimp will try to detect the type from the texture filename postfix: Normal Maps: _n, _nrm, _nrml, _normal, _normals, _normalmap Specular Maps: _s, _spec, _specular, _specularmap Light Maps: _l, _light, _lightmap, _occ, _occlusion Displacement Maps: _dis, _displacement The matching is case insensitive. Postfix is taken between the last "_" and last ".". The default behavior is to detect type from lower cased texture unit name by matching against: normalmap, specularmap, lightmap, and displacementmap. For both cases if no match is found then, is used. The default value is false.

Gets the string name used by OgreTextureTypeFromFilenameConfig.

Constructs a new OgreTextureTypeFromFilenameConfig.

True if the filename defines texture usage, false otherwise.

Specifies whether the IFC loader skips over shape representations of type 'Curve2D'. A lot of files contain both a faceted mesh representation and a outline with a presentation type of 'Curve2D'. Currently Assimp does not convert those, so turning this option off just clutters the log with errors.

Gets the string name used by IFCSkipCurveShapesConfig.

Constructs a new IFCSkipCurveShapesConfig.

True if the Curve2D shapes are skipped during import, false otherwise.

Specifies whether the IFC loader will use its own, custom triangulation algorithm to triangulate wall and floor meshes. If this is set to false, walls will be either triangulated by the post process triangulation or will be passed through as huge polygons with faked holes (e.g. holes that are connected with the outer boundary using a dummy edge). It is highly recommended to leave this property set to true as the default post process has some known issues with these kind of polygons.

Gets the string name used by IFCUseCustomTriangulationConfig.

Constructs a new IFCUseCustomTriangulationConfig.

True if the loader should use its own triangulation routine for walls/floors, false otherwise.

Specifies whether the collada loader will ignore the up direction. Default is false.

Gets the string name used by ColladaIgnoreUpDirectionConfig.

Constructs a new ColladaIgnoreUpDirectionConfig.

True if the loader should ignore the up direction, false otherwise.

Specifies whether the FBX importer will merge all geometry layers present in the source file or import only the first. Default is true.

Gets the string name used by FBXImportAllGeometryLayersConfig.

Constructs a new FBXImportAllGeometryLayersConfig.

True if all geometry layers should be merged, false otherwise to take only the first layer.

Specifies whether the FBX importer will import all materials present in the source file or take only the referenced materials, if the importer is configured to import materials at all. Otherwise this will have no effect. Default is false.

Gets the string name used by FBXImportAllMaterialsConfig.

Constructs a new FBXImportAllMaterialsConfig.

True if the FBX importer should import ALL materials even if not referenced, false otherwise (take only the referenced materials).

Specifies whether the FBX importer will import materials. Default is true.

Gets the string name used by FBXImportMaterialsConfig.

True if the FBX importer should import materials, false otherwise.

Specifies whether the FBX importer will import cameras. Default is true.

Gets the string name used by FBXImportCamerasConfig.

Constructs a new FBXImportCamerasConfig.

True if the FBX importer should import cameras, false otherwise.

Specifies whether the FBX importer will import lights. Default is true.

Gets the string name used by FBXImportLightsConfig.

Constructs a new FBXImportLightsConfig.

True if the FBX importer should import lights, false otherwise.

Specifies whether the FBX importer will import animations. Default is true.

Gets the string name used by FBXImportAnimationsConfig.

Constructs a new FBXImportAnimationsConfig.

True if the FBX importer should import animations, false otherwise.

Specifies whether the FBX importer will act in strict mode in which only the FBX 2013 format is supported and any other sub formats are rejected. FBX 2013 is the primary target for the importer, so this format is best supported and well-tested. Default is false.

Gets the string name used by FBXStrictModeConfig.

Constructs a new FBXStrictModeConfig.

True if FBX strict mode should be used, false otherwise.

Specifies whether the FBX importer will preserve pivot points for transformations (as extra nodes). If set to false, pivots and offsets will be evaluated whenever possible. Default value is true.

Gets the string name used by FBXPreservePivotsConfig.

Constructs a new FBXPreservePivotsConfig.

True if pivots should be preserved, false otherwise.

Specifies whether the importer will drop empty animation curves or animation curves which match the bind pose transformation over their entire defined range. Default value is true.

Gets the string name used by FBXOptimizeEmptyAnimationCurvesConfig.

Constructs a new FBXOptimizeEmptyAnimationCurvesConfig.

True if empty animation curves should be dropped, false otherwise.

Attribute for assocating a type with an instance.

Gets the associated marshaler.

Constructs a new instance of the class.

Type that implements Thrown if the type is null. Thrown if the type does not implement .

Simple implementation of an IOSystem that searches for files on the disk. This implementation can be given a number of search directories that it will attempt to locate the file in first, before using the file path given by Assimp. That way, you can load models that have files distributed in a number of other directories besides the root model's.

Constructs a new FileIOSystem that does not have any search directories.

Constructs a new FileIOSystem that uses the specified search directories.

Search directories to search for files in

Metadata is a string.

Metadata is a .

Post processing flag options, specifying a number of steps that can be run on the data to either generate additional vertex data or optimize the imported data.

No flags enabled.

Calculates the tangents and binormals (bitangents) for the imported meshes. This does nothing if a mesh does not have normals. You might want this post processing step to be executed if you plan to use tangent space calculations such as normal mapping. There is a config setting AI_CONFIG_PP_CT_MAX_SMOOTHING_ANGLE which allows you to specify a maximimum smoothing angle for the algorithm. However, usually you'll want to leave it at the default value.

Identifies and joins identical vertex data sets within all imported meshes. After this step is run each mesh does contain only unique vertices anymore, so a vertex is possibly used by multiple faces. You usually want to use this post processing step. If your application deals with indexed geometry, this step is compulsory or you'll just waste rendering time. If this flag is not specified, no vertices are referenced by more than one face and no index buffer is required for rendering.

Converts all imported data to a left handed coordinate space. By default the data is returned in a right-handed coordinate space, where +X points to the right, +Z towards the viewer, and +Y upwards.

Triangulates all faces of all meshes. By default the imported mesh data might contain faces with more than three indices. For rendering you'll usually want all faces to be triangles. This post processing step splits up all higher faces to triangles. Line and point primitives are *not* modified. If you want 'triangles only' with no other kinds of primitives, try the following: Specify both and . Ignore all point and line meshes when you process Assimp's output

Removes some parts of the data structure (animations, materials, light sources, cameras, textures, vertex components). The components to be removed are specified in a separate configuration option, AI_CONFIG_PP_RVC_FLAGS. This is quite useful if you don't need all parts of the output structure. Especially vertex colors are rarely used today...calling this step to remove unrequired stuff from the pipeline as early as possible results in an increased performance and a better optimized output data structure. This step is also useful if you want to force Assimp to recompute normals or tangents. the corresponding steps don't recompute them if they're already there (loaded from the source asset). By using this step you can make sure they are NOT there.

Generates normals for all faces of all meshes. It may not be specified together with . This is ignored if normals are already there at the time where this flag is evaluated. Model importers try to load them from the source file, so they're usually already there. Face normals are shared between all points of a single face, so a single point can have multiple normals, which in other words, forces the library to duplicate vertices in some cases. This makes senseless then.

Generates smooth normals for all vertices of all meshes. It may not be specified together with . This is ignored if normals are already there at the time where this flag is evaluated. Model importers try to load them from the source file, so they're usually already there. The configuration option AI_CONFIG_PP_GSN_MAX_SMOOTHING_ANGLE allows you to specify an angle maximum for the normal smoothing algorithm. Normals exceeding this limit are not smoothed, resulting in a 'hard' seam between two faces. using a decent angle here (e.g. 80 degrees) results in a very good visual appearance.

Splits large meshes into smaller submeshes. This is useful for realtime rendering where the number of triangles which can be maximally processed in a single draw call is usually limited by the video driver/hardware. The maximum vertex buffer is usually limited, too. Both requirements can be met with this step: you may specify both a triangle and a vertex limit for a single mesh. The split limits can be set through the AI_CONFIG_PP_SLM_VERTEX_LIMIT and AI_CONFIG_PP_SLM_TRIANGLE_LIMIT config settings. The default values are 1,000,000. Warning: This can be a time consuming task.

Removes the node graph and "bakes" (pre-transforms) all vertices with the local transformation matrices of their nodes. The output scene does still contain nodes, however, there is only a root node with children, each one referencing only one mesh. Each mesh referencing one material. For rendering, you can simply render all meshes in order, you don't need to pay attention to local transformations and the node hierarchy. Warning: Animations are removed during this step.

Limits the number of bones simultaneously affecting a single vertex to a maximum value. If any vertex is affected by more than that number of bones, the least important vertex weights are removed and the remaining vertex weights are re-normalized so that the weights still sum up to 1. The default bone weight limit is 4 and uses the AI_LMW_MAX_WEIGHTS config. If you intend to perform the skinning in hardware, this post processing step might be of interest for you.

Validates the imported scene data structure. This makes sure that all indices are valid, all animations and bones are linked correctly, all material references are correct, etc. It is recommended to capture Assimp's log output if you use this flag, so you can easily find out what's actually wrong if a file fails the validation. The validator is quite rude and will find *all* inconsistencies in the data structure. There are two types of failures: Error: There's something wrong with the imported data. Further postprocessing is not possible and the data is not usable at all. The import fails. Warning: There are some minor issues (e.g. 1000000 animation keyframes with the same time), but further postprocessing and use of the data structure is still safe. Warning details are written to the log file.

Re-orders triangles for better vertex cache locality. This step tries to improve the ACMR (average post-transform vertex cache miss ratio) for all meshes. The implementation runs in O(n) time and is roughly based on the 'tipsify' algorithm. If you intend to render huge models in hardware, this step might be of interest for you. The AI_CONFIG_PP_ICL_PTCACHE_SIZE config setting can be used to fine tune the cache optimization.

Searches for redundant/unreferenced materials and removes them. This is especially useful in combination with the PreTransformVertices and OptimizeMeshes flags. Both join small meshes with equal characteristics, but they can't do their work if two meshes have different materials. Because several material settings are always lost during Assimp's import filders and because many exporters don't check for redundant materials, huge models often have materials which are defined several times with exactly the same settings. Several material settings not contributing to the final appearance of a surface are ignored in all comparisons ... the material name is one of them. So, if you're passing additional information through the content pipeline (probably using *magic* material names), don't specify this flag. Alternatively, take a look at the AI_CONFIG_PP_RRM_EXCLUDE_LIST setting.

This step tries to determine which meshes have normal vectors that are facing inwards. The algorithm is simple but effective: The bounding box of all vertices and their normals are compared against the volume of the bounding box of all vertices without their normals. This works well for most objects, problems might occur with planar surfaces. However, the step tries to filter such cases. The step inverts all in-facing normals. Generally, it is recommended to enable this step, although the result is not always correct.

This step splits meshes with more than one primitive type in homogeneous submeshes. This step is executed after triangulation and after it returns, just one bit is set in aiMesh:mPrimitiveTypes. This is especially useful for real-time rendering where point and line primitives are often ignored or rendered separately. You can use AI_CONFIG_PP_SBP_REMOVE option to specify which primitive types you need. This can be used to easily exclude lines and points, which are rarely used, from the import.

This step searches all meshes for degenerated primitives and converts them to proper lines or points. A face is 'degenerated' if one or more of its points are identical. To have degenerated primitives removed, specify the flag try one of the following procedures: To support lines and points: Set the AI_CONFIG_PP_FD_REMOVE option to one. This will cause the step to remove degenerated triangles as soon as they are detected. They won't pass any further pipeline steps. If you don't support lines and points: Specify flag, which will move line and point primitives to separate meshes. Then set the AI_CONFIG_PP_SBP_REMOVE option to and to cause step to reject point and line meshes from the scene. Degenerated polygons are not necessarily evil and that's why they are not removed by default. There are several file formats which do not support lines or points where exporters bypass the format specification and write them as degenerated triangles instead.

This step searches all meshes for invalid data, such as zeroed normal vectors or invalid UV coordinates and removes or fixes them. This is intended to get rid of some common exporter rrors. This is especially useful for normals. If they are invalid, and the step recognizes this, they will be removed and can later be recomputed, e.g. by the GenerateSmoothNormals flag. The step will also remove meshes that are infinitely small and reduce animation tracks consisting of hundreds of redundant keys to a single key. The AI_CONFIG_PP_FID_ANIM_ACCURACY config property decides the accuracy of the check for duplicate animation tracks.

This step converts non-UV mappings (such as spherical or cylindrical mapping) to proper texture coordinate channels. Most applications will support UV mapping only, so you will probably want to specify this step in every case. Note that Assimp is not always able to match the original mapping implementation of the 3D app which produced a model perfectly. It's always better to let the father app compute the UV channels, at least 3DS max, maya, blender, lightwave, modo, .... are able to achieve this. If this step is not requested, you'll need to process the MATKEY_MAPPING material property in order to display all assets properly.

Applies per-texture UV transformations and bakes them to stand-alone vtexture coordinate channels. UV Transformations are specified per-texture - see the MATKEY_UVTRANSFORM material key for more information. This step processes all textures with transformed input UV coordinates and generates new (pretransformed) UV channel transformations, so you will probably want to specify this step. UV transformations are usually implemented in realtime apps by transforming texture coordinates in a vertex shader stage with a 3x3 (homogenous) transformation matrix.

Searches for duplicated meshes and replaces them with a reference to the first mesh. This is time consuming, so don't use it if you have no time. Its main purpose is to work around the limitation with some file formats that don't support instanced meshes, so exporters duplicate meshes.

Attempts to reduce the number of meshes (and draw calls). This is recommended to be used together with and is fully compatible with both and .

Optimizes scene hierarchy. Nodes with no animations, bones, lights, or cameras assigned are collapsed and joined. Node names can be lost during this step, you can specify names of nodes that should'nt be touched or modified with AI_CONFIG_PP_OG_EXCLUDE_LIST. Use this flag with caution. Most simple files will be collapsed to a single node, complex hierarchies are usually completely lost. That's not the right choice for editor environments, but probably a very effective optimization if you just want to get the model data, convert it to your own format and render it as fast as possible. This flag is designed to be used with for best results. Scenes with thousands of extremely small meshes packed in deeply nested nodes exist for almost all file formats. Usage of this and usually fixes them all and makes them renderable.

Flips all UV coordinates along the y-axis and adjusts material settings/bitangents accordingly.

Flips face winding order from CCW (default) to CW.

Splits meshes with many bones into submeshes so that each submesh has fewer or as many bones as a given limit.

Removes bones losslessly or according to some threshold. In some cases (e.g. formats that require it) exporters are faced to assign dummy bone weights to otherwise static meshes assigned to animated meshes. Full, weight-based skinning is expensive while animating nodes is extremely cheap, so this step is offered to clean up the data in that regard. Usage of the configuration AI_CONFIG_PP_DB_THRESHOLD to control the threshold and AI_CONFIG_PP_DB_ALL_OR_NONE if you want bones removed if and only if all bones within the scene qualify for removal.

Enumerates components of the scene or mesh data that can be excluded from the import using the post process step RemoveComponent.

No components to be excluded.

Defines an animation channel behaves outside the defined time range. This corresponds to the prestate and poststates of the animation node.

The value from the default node transformation is taken.

The nearest key value is used without interpolation.

The value of the nearest two keys is linearly extrapolated for the current time value.

The animation is repeated. If the animation key goes from n to m and the current time is t, use the value at (t - n ) % (|m-n|).

Enumerates all supported light sources.

Unknown light.

Directional light source that has a well-defined direction but is infinitely far away, e.g. the sun.

Point light source that has a well-defined position in space but is omni-directional, e.g. a light bulb.

Spot light source emits light from a position in space, in a certain direction that is limited by an angle, like a cone.

Defines alpha blending flags, how the final color value of a pixel is computed, based on the following equation: sourceColor * sourceBlend + destColor * destBlend Where the destColor is the previous color in the frame buffer and sourceColor is the material color before the transparency calculation. This corresponds to the AI_MATKEY_BLEND_FUNC property.

Default blending: sourceColor * sourceAlpha + destColor * (1 - sourceAlpha)

Additive blending: sourcecolor * 1 + destColor * 1.

Defines all shading models supported by the library. The list of shading modes has been taken from Blender. See Blender documentation for more information.

No shading mode defined.

Flat shading. Shading is done on a per-face basis and is diffuse only. Also known as 'faceted shading'.

Simple Gouraud shading.

Minnaert shading model. Extension to standard Lambertian shading, taking the "darkness" of the material into account.

CookTorrance shading model. Special shader for metallic surfaces.

No shading at all. Constant light influence of 1.0.

Fresnel shading.

Defines some mixed flags for a particular texture. This corresponds to the AI_MAT_KEY_TEXFLAGS property.

The texture's color values have to be inverted (componentwise 1-n).

Explicit request to the application to process the alpha channel of the texture. This is mutually exclusive with . These flags are set if the library can say for sure that the alpha channel is used/is not used. If the model format does not define this, iti s left to the application to decide whether the texture alpha channel - if any - is evaluated or not.

Explicit request to the application to ignore the alpha channel of the texture. This is mutually exclusive with .

Defines how UV coordinates outside the [0..1] range are handled. Commonly referred to as the 'wrapping mode'

A texture coordinate u|v is translated to u % 1| v % 1.

Texture coordinates outside [0...1] are clamped to the nearest valid value.

A texture coordinate u|v becomes u1|v1 if (u - (u % 1)) % 2 is zero and 1 - (u % 1) | 1 - (v % 1) otherwise.

If the texture coordinates for a pixel are outside [0...1] the texture is not applied to that pixel.

Defines how texture coordinates are generated Real-time applications typically require full UV coordinates. So the use of step is highly recommended. It generates proper UV channels for non-UV mapped objects, as long as an accurate description of how the mapping should look like is given.

Coordinates are taken from the an existing UV channel. The AI_MATKEY_UVWSRC key specifies from the UV channel the texture coordinates are to be taken from since meshes can have more than one UV channel.

Spherical mapping

Cylinder mapping

Cubic mapping

Planar mapping

Unknown mapping that is not recognied.

Defines how the Nth texture of a specific type is combined with the result of all previous layers. Example (left: key, right: value):


            DiffColor0     - gray
            DiffTextureOp0 - TextureOperation.Multiply
            DiffTexture0   - tex1.png
            DiffTextureOp0 - TextureOperation.Add
            DiffTexture1   - tex2.png

Written as an equation, the final diffuse term for a specific pixel would be:


            diffFinal = DiffColor0 * sampleTex(DiffTexture0, UV0) + sampleTex(DiffTexture1, UV0) * diffContrib;

T = T1 * T2

T = T1 + T2

T = T1 - T2

T = T1 / T2

T = (T1 + T2) - (T1 * T2)

T = T1 + (T2 - 0.5)

Defines the purpose of a texture.

No texture, but the value can be used as a 'texture semantic'.

A diffuse texture that is combined with the result of the diffuse lighting equation.

A specular texture that is combined with the result of the specular lighting equation.

An ambient texture that is combined with the ambient lighting equation.

An emissive texture that is added to the result of the lighting calculation. It is not influenced by incoming light, instead it represents the light that the object is naturally emitting.

A height map texture. by convention, higher gray-scale values stand for higher elevations from some base height.

A tangent-space normal map. There are several conventions for normal maps and Assimp does (intentionally) not distinguish here.

A texture that defines the glossiness of the material. This is the exponent of the specular (phong) lighting equation. Usually there is a conversion function defined to map the linear color values in the texture to a suitable exponent.

The texture defines per-pixel opacity. usually 'white' means opaque and 'black' means 'transparency. Or quite the opposite.

A displacement texture. The exact purpose and format is application-dependent. Higher color values stand for higher vertex displacements.

A lightmap texture (aka Ambient occlusion). Both 'lightmaps' and dedicated 'ambient occlusion maps' are covered by this material property. The texture contains a scaling value for the final color value of a pixel. Its intensity is not affected by incoming light.

A reflection texture. Contains the color of a perfect mirror reflection. This is rarely used, almost never for real-time applications.

An unknown texture that does not mention any of the defined texture type definitions. It is still imported, but is excluded from any further postprocessing.

Defines the state of the imported scene data structure.

Default state of the scene, it imported successfully.

Specifies that the scene data structure that was imported is not complete. This flag bypasses some internal validations and allows the import of animation skeletons, material libaries, or camera animation paths using Assimp. Most applications won't support such data.

This flag is set by the post process step if validation is successful. In a validated scene you can be sure that any cross references in the data structure (e.g. vertex indices) are valid.

This flag is set by the post process step if validation is successful, but some issues have been found. This can for example mean that a texture that does not exist is referenced by a material or that the bone weights for a vertex do not sum to 1.0. In most cases you should still be able to use the import. This flag can be useful for applications which do not capture Assimp's log output.

This flag is set by the post process step. It indicates that the vertices of the output mesh are not in the internal verbose format anymore. In the verbose format, all vertices are unique where no vertex is ever referenced by more than one face.

Denotes the scene is pure height-map terrain data. Pure terrains usually consist of quads, sometimes triangles, in a regular grid. The x,y coordinates of all vertex positions refer to the x,y coordinates on the terrain height map, the z-axis stores the elevation at a specific point. TER (Terragen) and HMP (3D Game Studio) are height map formats.

Describes a blob of exported scene data. Blobs can be nested - each blob may reference another blob, which in turn can reference another and so on. This is used to allow exporters to write more than one output for a given scene, such as material files. Existence of such files depends on the format.

The stream representation of an ExportDataBlob is as follows:


            String: Name of the Blob
            int: Length of Binary Data
            byte[]: Binary Data
            bool: If has next data blob
                String: Name of nested blob
                int: Length of nested blob binary data
                byte[]: Nested blob binary data
                bool: If nested blob has next data blob
                ....

Sets the vertex animation keyframe to be imported. Assimp does not support vertex keyframes (only bone animation is supported). The libary reads only one frame of models with vertex animations. By default this is the first frame. The default value is 0. This option applies to all importers. However, it is also possible to override the global setting for a specific loader. You can use the AI_CONFIG_IMPORT_XXX_KEYFRAME options where XXX is a placeholder for the file format which you want to override the global setting. Type: integer. Default: 0

Configures the MD5 loader to not load the MD5ANIM file for a MD5MESH file automatically. The default strategy is to look for a file with the same name but with the MD5ANIm extension in the same directory. If it is found it is loaded and combined with the MD5MESH file. This configuration option can be used to disable this behavior. Type: bool. Default: false

Defines the beginning of the time range for which the LWS loader evaluates animations and computes AiNodeAnim's. Assimp provides full conversion of Lightwave's envelope system, including pre and post conditions. The loader computes linearly subsampled animation channels with the frame rate given in the LWS file. This property defines the start time. Animation channels are only generated if a node has at least one envelope with more than one key assigned. This property is given in frames where '0' is the first. By default, if this property is not set, the importer takes the animation start from the input LWS file ('FirstFrame' line) Type: integer. Default: taken from file

Describes a light source in the scene. Assimp supports multiple light sources including spot, point, and directional lights. All are defined by a single structure and distinguished by their parameters. Lights have corresponding nodes in the scenegraph. Some file formats such as 3DS and ASE export a "target point", e.g. the point a spot light is looking at (it can even be animated). Assimp writes the target point as a subnode of a spotlight's main node called "spotName.Target". However, this is just additional information then, the transform tracks of the main node make the spot light already point in the right direction.

Gets or sets the name of the light source. This corresponds to a node present in the scenegraph.

Gets or sets the linear light attenuation factor. The intensity of the light source at a given distance 'd' from the light position is Atten = 1 / (att0 + att1 * d + att2 * d*d) This member corresponds to the att1 variable in the equation and is undefined for directional lights.

Gets or sets the quadratic light attenuation factor. The intensity of the light source at a given distance 'd' from the light position is Atten = 1 / (att0 + att1 * d + att2 * d*d). This member corresponds to the att2 variable in the equation and is undefined for directional lights.

Gets or sets the position of the light source in space, relative to the transformation of the node corresponding to the light. This is undefined for directional lights.
