ldrawloader - C/C++ open-source loader

[Christoph Kubisch]

Hi,
if anyone is searching for a self-contained ldraw loader, I have recently open-sourced a hobby project. It doesn't come with all the bells and whistles to the various Ldraw features yet, but should be useful nevertheless.

It also implements chamfered hard edges for better rendering quality, for that purpose additional "fixes" are done to the models.

Thanks! This looks like really useful.

Is it possible to get the full example? In the repository you just show how to load the model, is it possible to get the extra code you use to actually render the part/model?

every once in a while improving the loader, which is now more of a mesh-processing tool

dealing with the various self-intersections, non-manifold surfaces etc. is "fun". But also means one can make steady progress. Hopefully some day can generate proper manifold meshes that are mostly solids.
