OpenCTM importer for Ardor3D

This project uses Daniel Heinrich's JOpenCTM library to read OpenCTM files and use them as meshes in Ardor3D.

It is basically just a single wrapper class. The hard work was done by Daniel Heinrich who ported the OpenCTM reader from C to Java.

Why OpenCTM?

Well, it's damn fast! On my machine it takes ~2-3s to load an 8 MiB Wavefront (.obj) file and ~130ms to load the same mesh as OpenCTM file (3.3 MiB in RAW mode).

How to use

1. Include the following in your pom:

    <dependency>
    	<groupId>com.github.neothemachine</groupId>
    	<artifactId>ardor3d-openctm</artifactId>
    	<version>0.1.0</version>
    </dependency>
   

2. Load models as usual:

    Mesh mesh = new OpenCtmImporter().load("...");
    root.attachChild(mesh);
