**Single-file/stb-style C glTF loader and writer**
|
|
|
|
[![Build Status](https://github.com/jkuhlmann/cgltf/workflows/build/badge.svg)](https://github.com/jkuhlmann/cgltf/actions)
|
|
|
|
Used in: [bgfx](https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx), [Filament](https://github.com/google/filament), [gltfpack](https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer/tree/master/gltf), [raylib](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib), [Unigine](https://developer.unigine.com/en/docs/2.14.1/third_party?rlang=cpp#cgltf), and more!
|
|
|
|
## Usage: Loading
|
|
Loading from file:
|
|
```c
|
|
#define CGLTF_IMPLEMENTATION
|
|
#include "cgltf.h"
|
|
|
|
cgltf_options options = {0};
|
|
cgltf_data* data = NULL;
|
|
cgltf_result result = cgltf_parse_file(&options, "scene.gltf", &data);
|
|
if (result == cgltf_result_success)
|
|
{
|
|
/* TODO make awesome stuff */
|
|
cgltf_free(data);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Loading from memory:
|
|
```c
|
|
#define CGLTF_IMPLEMENTATION
|
|
#include "cgltf.h"
|
|
|
|
void* buf; /* Pointer to glb or gltf file data */
|
|
size_t size; /* Size of the file data */
|
|
|
|
cgltf_options options = {0};
|
|
cgltf_data* data = NULL;
|
|
cgltf_result result = cgltf_parse(&options, buf, size, &data);
|
|
if (result == cgltf_result_success)
|
|
{
|
|
/* TODO make awesome stuff */
|
|
cgltf_free(data);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that cgltf does not load the contents of extra files such as buffers or images into memory by default. You'll need to read these files yourself using URIs from `data.buffers[]` or `data.images[]` respectively.
|
|
For buffer data, you can alternatively call `cgltf_load_buffers`, which will use `FILE*` APIs to open and read buffer files. This automatically decodes base64 data URIs in buffers. For data URIs in images, you will need to use `cgltf_load_buffer_base64`.
|
|
|
|
**For more in-depth documentation and a description of the public interface refer to the top of the `cgltf.h` file.**
|
|
|
|
## Usage: Writing
|
|
When writing glTF data, you need a valid `cgltf_data` structure that represents a valid glTF document. You can construct such a structure yourself or load it using the loader functions described above. The writer functions do not deallocate any memory. So, you either have to do it manually or call `cgltf_free()` if you got the data by loading it from a glTF document.
|
|
|
|
Writing to file:
|
|
```c
|
|
#define CGLTF_IMPLEMENTATION
|
|
#define CGLTF_WRITE_IMPLEMENTATION
|
|
#include "cgltf_write.h"
|
|
|
|
cgltf_options options = {0};
|
|
cgltf_data* data = /* TODO must be valid data */;
|
|
cgltf_result result = cgltf_write_file(&options, "out.gltf", data);
|
|
if (result != cgltf_result_success)
|
|
{
|
|
/* TODO handle error */
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Writing to memory:
|
|
```c
|
|
#define CGLTF_IMPLEMENTATION
|
|
#define CGLTF_WRITE_IMPLEMENTATION
|
|
#include "cgltf_write.h"
|
|
cgltf_options options = {0};
|
|
cgltf_data* data = /* TODO must be valid data */;
|
|
|
|
cgltf_size size = cgltf_write(&options, NULL, 0, data);
|
|
|
|
char* buf = malloc(size);
|
|
|
|
cgltf_size written = cgltf_write(&options, buf, size, data);
|
|
if (written != size)
|
|
{
|
|
/* TODO handle error */
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that cgltf does not write the contents of extra files such as buffers or images. You'll need to write this data yourself.
|
|
|
|
**For more in-depth documentation and a description of the public interface refer to the top of the `cgltf_write.h` file.**

|
## Features
|
|
cgltf supports core glTF 2.0:
|
|
- glb (binary files) and gltf (JSON files)
|
|
- meshes (including accessors, buffer views, buffers)
|
|
- materials (including textures, samplers, images)
|
|
- scenes and nodes
|
|
- skins
|
|
- animations
|
|
- cameras
|
|
- morph targets
|
|
- extras data
|
|
|
|
cgltf also supports some glTF extensions:
|
|
- EXT_meshopt_compression
|
|
- KHR_draco_mesh_compression (requires a library like [Google's Draco](https://github.com/google/draco) for decompression though)
|
|
- KHR_lights_punctual
|
|
- KHR_materials_clearcoat
|
|
- KHR_materials_ior
|
|
- KHR_materials_pbrSpecularGlossiness
|
|
- KHR_materials_sheen
|
|
- KHR_materials_specular
|
|
- KHR_materials_transmission
|
|
- KHR_materials_unlit
|
|
- KHR_materials_variants
|
|
- KHR_materials_volume
|
|
- KHR_texture_transform
|
|
|
|
cgltf does **not** yet support unlisted extensions. However, unlisted extensions can be accessed via "extensions" member on objects.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
The easiest approach is to integrate the `cgltf.h` header file into your project. If you are unfamiliar with single-file C libraries (also known as stb-style libraries), this is how it goes:
|
|
|
|
1. Include `cgltf.h` where you need the functionality.
|
|
1. Have exactly one source file that defines `CGLTF_IMPLEMENTATION` before including `cgltf.h`.
|
|
1. Use the cgltf functions as described above.
|
|
|
|
Support for writing can be found in a separate file called `cgltf_write.h` (which includes `cgltf.h`). Building it works analogously using the `CGLTF_WRITE_IMPLEMENTATION` define.
|

## Contributing
|
|
Everyone is welcome to contribute to the library. If you find any problems, you can submit them using [GitHub's issue system](https://github.com/jkuhlmann/cgltf/issues). If you want to contribute code, you should fork the project and then send a pull request.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
C headers being used by implementation:
|
|
```
|
|
#include <stddef.h>
|
|
#include <stdint.h>
|
|
#include <string.h>
|
|
#include <stdlib.h>
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
#include <limits.h>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note, this library has a copy of the [JSMN JSON parser](https://github.com/zserge/jsmn) embedded in its source.
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
There is a Python script in the `test/` folder that retrieves the glTF 2.0 sample files from the glTF-Sample-Models repository (https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Models/tree/master/2.0) and runs the library against all gltf and glb files.
|
|
|
|
Here's one way to build and run the test:
|
|
|
|
cd test ; mkdir build ; cd build ; cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
|
|
make -j
|
|
cd ..
|
|
./test_all.py
|
|
|
|
There is also a llvm-fuzz test in `fuzz/`. See http://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html for more information.
