LoadGeom

Loads geometry from file.

LoadGeom supports OBJ and Draco file formats. To load geometry in Alembic file format, use the LoadAlembic node.

Draco is a lossy compression format for meshes developed by Google. It produces nearly 10 times smaller file size comparing to OBJ, therefore it is very efficient when working with big sequences of scans.

Note

When using Draco format, it brings two limitation:

• Draco operates only with triangulated meshes. If mesh does not meet this requirement, it will be triangulated forcibly.

• Vertex order and number of triangles may be changed during saving depending on compression settings.

Considering these limitation, this file format is not suitable for any basemeshes, but great in terms of storing a large amount of data.

LoadGeom node also lets you control visual parameters, transformation and model texture.

Note

The geometry is assumed to be in centimeter scale.

Tip

By default the newly loaded geometry is not centered within the viewport. Use F key to fit geometry to view.
