@section over Overview
|
|
Assimp provides its own interchange format, which is intended to applications which need
|
|
to serialize 3D-models and to reload them quickly. Assimp's file formats are designed to
|
|
be read by Assimp itself. They encode additional information needed by Assimp to optimize
|
|
its postprocessing pipeline. If you once apply specific steps to a scene, then save it
|
|
and reread it from an ASS format using the same post processing settings, they won't
|
|
be executed again.
|
|
|
|
The format comes in two flavours: XML and binary - both of them hold a complete dump of
|
|
the 'aiScene' data structure returned by the APIs. The focus for the binary format
|
|
(<tt>.assbin</tt>) is fast loading. Optional deflate compression helps reduce file size. The XML
|
|
flavour, <tt>.assxml</tt> or simply .xml, is just a plain-to-xml conversion of aiScene.
|
|
|
|
ASSBIN is Assimp's binary interchange format. assimp_cmd (<tt><root>/tools/assimp_cmd</tt>) is able to
|
|
write it and the core library provides a loader for it.
|
|
|
|
@section assxml XML File format
|
|
|
|
The format is pretty much self-explanatory due to its similarity to the in-memory aiScene structure.
|
|
With few exceptions, C structures are wrapped in XML elements.
|
|
|
|
The DTD for ASSXML can be found in <tt><root>/doc/AssXML_Scheme.xml</tt>. Or have look
|
|
at the output files generated by assimp_cmd.
|
|
|
|
@section assbin Binary file format
|
|
|
|
The ASSBIN file format is composed of chunks to represent the hierarchical aiScene data structure.
|
|
This makes the format extensible and allows backward-compatibility with future data structure
|
|
versions. The <tt><root>/code/assbin_chunks.h</tt> header contains some magic constants
|
|
for use by stand-alone ASSBIN loaders. Also, Assimp's own file writer can be found
|
|
in <tt><root>/tools/assimp_cmd/WriteDumb.cpp</tt> (yes, the 'b' is no typo ...).

1. File structure:
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
| Header (512 bytes) |
|
|
----------------------
|
|
| Variable chunks |
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
2. Definitions:
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
integer is four bytes wide, stored in little-endian byte order.
|
|
short is two bytes wide, stored in little-endian byte order.
|
|
byte is a single byte.
|
|
string is an integer n followed by n UTF-8 characters, not terminated by zero
|
|
float is an IEEE 754 single-precision floating-point value
|
|
double is an IEEE 754 double-precision floating-point value
|
|
t[n] is an array of n elements of type t
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
2. Header:
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
byte[44] Magic identification string for ASSBIN files.
|
|
'ASSIMP.binary'
|
|
|
|
integer Major version of the Assimp library which wrote the file
|
|
integer Minor version of the Assimp library which wrote the file
|
|
match these against ASSBIN_VERSION_MAJOR and ASSBIN_VERSION_MINOR
|
|
|
|
integer SVN revision of the Assimp library (intended for our internal
|
|
debugging - if you write Ass files from your own APPs, set this value to 0.
|
|
integer Assimp compile flags
|
|
|
|
short 0 for normal files, 1 for shortened dumps for regression tests
|
|
these should have the file extension assbin.regress
|
|
|
|
short 1 if the data after the header is compressed with the DEFLATE algorithm,
|
|
0 for uncompressed files.
|
|
For compressed files, the first integer after the header is
|
|
always the uncompressed data size
|
|
|
|
byte[256] Zero-terminated source file name, UTF-8
|
|
byte[128] Zero-terminated command line parameters passed to assimp_cmd, UTF-8
|
|
|
|
byte[64] Reserved for future use
|
|
---> Total length: 512 bytes
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
3. Chunks:
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
integer Magic chunk ID (ASSBIN_CHUNK_XXX)
|
|
integer Chunk data length, in bytes
|
|
(unknown chunks are possible, a good reader skips over them)
|
|
(chunk-data-length does not include the first two integers)
|
|
|
|
byte[n] chunk-data-length bytes of data, depending on the chunk type
|
|
|
|
Chunks can contain nested chunks. Nested chunks are ALWAYS at the end of the chunk,
|
|
their size is included in chunk-data-length.
|
|
|
|
The chunk layout for all ASSIMP data structures is derived from their C declarations.
|
|
The general 'rule' to get from Assimp headers to the serialized layout is:
|
|
|
|
1. POD members (i.e. aiMesh::mPrimitiveTypes, aiMesh::mNumVertices),
|
|
in order of declaration.
|
|
|
|
2. Array-members (aiMesh::mFaces, aiMesh::mVertices, aiBone::mWeights),
|
|
in order of declaration.
|
|
|
|
2. Object array members (i.e aiMesh::mBones, aiScene::mMeshes) are stored in
|
|
subchunks directly following the data written in 1.) and 2.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of course, there are some exceptions to this general order:
|
|
|
|
[[aiScene]]
|
|
|
|
- The root node holding the scene structure is naturally stored in
|
|
a ASSBIN_CHUNK_AINODE subchunk following 1.) and 2.) (which is
|
|
empty for aiScene).
|
|
|
|
[[aiMesh]]
|
|
|
|
- mTextureCoords and mNumUVComponents are serialized as follows:
|
|
|
|
[number of used uv channels times]
|
|
integer mNumUVComponents[n]
|
|
float mTextureCoords[n][3]
|
|
|
|
-> more than AI_MAX_TEXCOORD_CHANNELS can be stored. This allows Assimp
|
|
builds with different settings for AI_MAX_TEXCOORD_CHANNELS to exchange
|
|
data.
|
|
-> the on-disk format always uses 3 floats to write UV coordinates.
|
|
If mNumUVComponents[0] is 1, the corresponding mTextureCoords array
|
|
consists of 3 floats.
|
|
|
|
- The array member block of aiMesh is prefixed with an integer that specifies
|
|
the kinds of vertex components actually present in the mesh. This is a
|
|
bitwise combination of the ASSBIN_MESH_HAS_xxx constants.
|
|
|
|
[[aiFace]]
|
|
|
|
- mNumIndices is stored as short
|
|
- mIndices are written as short, if aiMesh::mNumVertices<65536
|
|
|
|
[[aiNode]]
|
|
|
|
- mParent is omitted
|
|
|
|
[[aiLight]]
|
|
|
|
- mAttenuationXXX not written if aiLight::mType == aiLightSource_DIRECTIONAL
|
|
- mAngleXXX not written if aiLight::mType != aiLightSource_SPOT
|
|
|
|
[[aiMaterial]]
|
|
|
|
- mNumAllocated is omitted, for obvious reasons :-)
