ufbx CI codecov

Single source file FBX file loader.

ufbx_load_opts opts = { 0 }; // Optional, pass NULL for defaults
ufbx_error error; // Optional, pass NULL if you don't care about errors
ufbx_scene *scene = ufbx_load_file("thing.fbx", &opts, &error);
if (!scene) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to load: %s\n", error.description.data);
    exit(1);
}

// Use and inspect `scene`, it's just plain data!

// Let's just list all objects within the scene for example:
for (size_t i = 0; i < scene->nodes.count; i++) {
    ufbx_node *node = scene->nodes.data[i];
    if (node->is_root) continue;

    printf("Object: %s\n", node->name.data);
    if (node->mesh) {
        printf("-> mesh with %zu faces\n", node->mesh->faces.count);
    }
}

ufbx_free_scene(scene);

Setup

Copy ufbx.h and ufbx.c to your project, ufbx.c needs to be compiled as C99/C++11 or more recent. You can also add misc/ufbx.natvis to get debug formatting for the types.

Features

The goal is to be at feature parity with the official FBX SDK.

Platforms

The library is written in portable C (also compiles as C++) and should work on almost any platform without modification. If compiled as pre-C11/C++11 on an unknown compiler (not MSVC/Clang/GCC/TCC), some functions will not be thread-safe as C99 does not have support for atomics.

The following platforms are tested on CI and produce bit-exact results:

Testing

Versioning

The latest commit in the master branch contains the latest stable version of the library.

Older versions are tagged as vX.Y.Z, patch updates (Z) are ABI compatible and work with older versions of the header from the same minor version (Y). Minor versions within a major verision (X) are expected to be source compatible after 1.0.0 but the 0.Y.Z releases can break for every minor release.
