README.md

Header only C++ tiny glTF library(loader/saver).

TinyGLTF is a header only C++11 glTF 2.0 https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF library.

TinyGLTF uses Niels Lohmann's json library(https://github.com/nlohmann/json), so now it requires C++11 compiler. If you are looking for old, C++03 version, please use devel-picojson branch.

Status

v2.0.0 release(22 Aug, 2018)!

Builds

Features

Written in portable C++. C++-11 with STL dependency only.
- [x] macOS + clang(LLVM)
- [x] iOS + clang
- [x] Linux + gcc/clang
- [x] Windows + MinGW
- [x] Windows + Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 or later.
  - Visual Studio 2013 is not supported since they have limited C++11 support and failed to compile json.hpp.
- [x] Android NDK
- [x] Android + CrystaX(NDK drop-in replacement) GCC
- [x] Web using Emscripten(LLVM)
Moderate parsing time and memory consumption.
glTF specification v2.0.0
- [x] ASCII glTF
- [x] Binary glTF(GLB)
- [x] PBR material description
Buffers
- [x] Parse BASE64 encoded embedded buffer data(DataURI).
- [x] Load .bin file.
Image(Using stb_image)
- [x] Parse BASE64 encoded embedded image data(DataURI).
- [x] Load external image file.
- [x] PNG(8bit only)
- [x] JPEG(8bit only)
- [x] BMP
- [x] GIF
- [x] Custom Image decoder callback(e.g. for decoding OpenEXR image)
Load from memory
Custom callback handler
- [x] Image load
Extensions
- [x] Draco mesh decoding

Examples

glview : Simple glTF geometry viewer.
validator : Simple glTF validator with JSON schema.
basic : Basic glTF viewer with texturing support.

Loading glTF 2.0 model

// Define these only in *one* .cc file.
#define TINYGLTF_IMPLEMENTATION
#define STB_IMAGE_IMPLEMENTATION
#define STB_IMAGE_WRITE_IMPLEMENTATION
// #define TINYGLTF_NOEXCEPTION // optional. disable exception handling.
#include "tiny_gltf.h"

using namespace tinygltf;

Model model; 
TinyGLTF loader;
std::string err;
std::string warn;
  
bool ret = loader.LoadASCIIFromFile(&model, &err, &warn, argv[1]);
//bool ret = loader.LoadBinaryFromFile(&model, &err, &warn, argv[1]); // for binary glTF(.glb) 

if (!warn.empty()) {
  printf("Warn: %s\n", warn.c_str());
}

if (!err.empty()) {
  printf("Err: %s\n", err.c_str());
}

if (!ret) {
  printf("Failed to parse glTF\n");
  return -1;
}

Compile options

TINYGLTF_NOEXCEPTION : Disable C++ exception in JSON parsing. You can use -fno-exceptions or by defining the symbol JSON_NOEXCEPTION and TINYGLTF_NOEXCEPTION to fully remove C++ exception codes when compiling TinyGLTF.
TINYGLTF_NO_STB_IMAGE : Do not load images with stb_image. Instead use TinyGLTF::SetImageLoader(LoadimageDataFunction LoadImageData, void *user_data) to set a callback for loading images.
TINYGLTF_NO_STB_IMAGE_WRITE : Do not write images with stb_image_write. Instead use TinyGLTF::SetImageWriter(WriteimageDataFunction WriteImageData, void *user_data) to set a callback for writing images.
TINYGLTF_NO_EXTERNAL_IMAGE : Do not try to load external image file. This option woulde be helpful if you do not want load image file during glTF parsing.
TINYGLTF_ANDROID_LOAD_FROM_ASSETS: Load all files from packaged app assets instead of the regular file system. Note: You must pass a valid asset manager from your android app to tinygltf::asset_manager beforehand.
TINYGLTF_ENABLE_DRACO: Enable Draco compression. User must provide include path and link correspnding libraries in your project file.
