How to render a 3D file using Assimp library


I am working on an android project, in which I need to render 3D file. I have decided to use Assimp library after a lot of research. I have successfully compiled Assimp library.. But I am not able to render a file using it. There is not much documentation available in this topic, I got a good link which describes steps to render 3D model using Assimp, but since I am new to opengl its is very difficult for me to understand it. Can anyone guide me how to use it in simple steps?


Solution

  • Assimp is a library for reading different types of 3D model. It will NOT render them.

    In order to do this you will need to either find a suitable rendering library or write your own, but this will not be easy if you do not have a good understanding of OpenGL.

    It would greatly help you if you started at the beginning of a tutorial and worked through it. I like this one. It is not Android specific, but when you understand the basics you will be able to apply the same ideas.
