Run a copy of this script inside your project to convert a 3D model in OBJ format to Defold's mesh vertex buffer format, useful for wireframe rendering. It can also convert to a regular triangulated mesh. When creating a wireframe, faces do not have to be triangulated; quads and Ngons will be traced as they are.
Change the variables in the script to input your OBJ file and desired output filename.
When the process is complete, the extents of the OBJ model will be printed to the console, defining its AABB (axis-aligned bounding box). Copy and paste those values to a script to enable frustum culling for your new mesh, like this example:
function init(self)
-- set AABB for mesh
local res_path = go.get('#mesh', 'vertices')
local buf = resource.get_buffer(res_path)
buffer.set_metadata(buf, hash('AABB'), { -1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1 }, buffer.VALUE_TYPE_FLOAT32)
resource.set_buffer(res_path, buf)
end
Note: This script may not work with older/unusual OBJ formats.
