Splitting All Meshes of Scene by Material

Introduction

Welcome to this step-by-step guide on splitting all meshes of a 3D scene by material using Aspose.3D for .NET. If you’re working with 3D models and want to efficiently organize your meshes based on materials, this tutorial is for you. Aspose.3D is a powerful .NET library that provides a range of features for working with 3D files, making it an excellent choice for developers.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • Basic understanding of C# programming language.
  • Visual Studio installed on your machine.
  • Aspose.3D for .NET library. You can download it from here .
  • An input 3D file (for example, “test.fbx”) that you want to split.

Import Namespaces

Start by importing the necessary namespaces in your C# project:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections;
using Aspose.ThreeD;
using Aspose.ThreeD.Animation;
using Aspose.ThreeD.Entities;
using Aspose.ThreeD.Formats;

Step 1: Load the 3D File

// The path to the documents directory.
string input = RunExamples.GetDataFilePath("test.fbx");
// Load a 3D file
Scene scene = new Scene(input);

In this step, we load the 3D file using Aspose.3D’s Scene class.

Step 2: Split All Meshes

// Split all meshes
PolygonModifier.SplitMesh(scene, SplitMeshPolicy.CloneData);

Here, we use the SplitMesh method from the PolygonModifier class to split all meshes based on the material.

Step 3: Save the Split Scene

// Save file
var output = "Your Output Directory" + "test-splitted.fbx";
scene.Save(output, FileFormat.FBX7500ASCII);

Save the modified scene to a new file to retain the changes.

Step 4: Display Success Message

// Display success message
Console.WriteLine("\nSplitting all meshes of a scene per material successfully.\nFile saved at " + output);

Print a success message indicating that the operation was completed successfully.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to split all meshes of a 3D scene by material using Aspose.3D for .NET. This can be a valuable technique for organizing and managing complex 3D models.
