This package provides fast reading of Wavefront OBJ files with support for
some material properties using the
tinyobjloader C++
library. It is noticeably faster than the pure R readOBJ
implemented in the rgl package.
Note that the rgl package does provide a writeOBJ
function, whereas this library only focusses on fast reading of OBJ files.
As of readobj v0.4 released in June 2021, tinyobjloader was updated tag v1.0.7; this was after considering and rejecting the 2.0 series where between 2.0 rc3 and rc4 a default diffuse value was added. This update means that the internal structure of more complex meshes has changed.
