A single vertex's geometric position in space. The first vertex listed in the file has index 1, and subsequent vertices are numbered sequentially.

A normal. The first normal in the file is index 1, and subsequent normals are numbered sequentially.

A texture coordinate. The first texture coordinate in the file is index 1, and subsequent normals are numbered sequentially.

A polygonal face. The numbers are indexes into the arrays of vertex positions, texture coordinates, and normals respectively. There is no maximum number of vertices that a single polygon may contain. The .obj file specification says that each face must be flat and convex, but if the TRIANGULATE flag is sent to the ObjectFile constructor, each face will be triangulated by the Java 3D Triangulator, and therefore may be concave. A number may be omitted if, for example, texture coordinates are not being defined in the model. Numbers are normally positive indexes, but may also be negative. An index of -1 means the last member added to the respective array, -2 is the one before that, and so on.

Faces defined after this token will be added to the named group. These geometry groups are returned as separated Shape3D objects attached to the parent SceneGroup. Each named Shape3D will also be in the Hashtable returned by Scene.getNamedObjects(). It is legal to add faces to a group, switch to another group, and then add more faces to the original group by reissuing the same name with the g token. If faces are added to the model before the g token is seen, the faces are put into the default group called "default."

If the vn token is not used in the file to specify vertex normals for the model, this token may be used to put faces into groups for normal calculation ("smoothing groups") in the same manner as the 'g' token is used to group faces geometrically. Faces in the same smoothing group will have their normals calculated as if they are part of the same smooth surface. To do this, we use the Java 3D NormalGenerator utility with the creaseAngle parameter set to PI (180 degrees - smooth shading, no creases) or to whatever the user has set the creaseAngle. Faces in group 0 or 'off' use a creaseAngle of zero, meaning there is no smoothing (the normal of the face is used at all vertices giving the surface a faceted look; there will be a crease, or "Hard Edge," between each face in group zero). There is also an implied hard edge between each smoothing group, where they meet each other.

If neither the vn nor the s token is used in the file, then normals are calculated using the creaseAngle set in the contructor. Normals are calculated on each geometry group separately, meaning there will be a hard edge between each geometry group.

The current (and subsequent) geometry groups (specified with the 'g' token) have applied to them the named material property. The following set of material properties are available by default:

Load material properties from the named file. Materials with the same name as the predefined materials above will override the default value. Any directory path information in (filename) is ignored. The .mtl files are assumed to be in the same directory as the .obj file. If they are in a different directory, use Loader.setBasePath() (or Loader.setBaseUrl() ). The format of the material properties files are as follows:

newmtl name

Start the definition of a new named material property.

Ka float float float

Ambient color.

Kd float float float

Diffuse color.

Ks float float float

Specular color.

illum (0, 1, or 2)

0 to disable lighting, 1 for ambient & diffuse only (specular color set to black), 2 for full lighting.

Ns float

Shininess (clamped to 1.0 - 128.0).

map_Kd filename

Texture map. Supports .rgb, .rgba, .int, .inta, .sgi, and .bw files in addition to those supported by TextureLoader.

d transparency

The transparency value of this texture (clamped to 0.0 - 1.0).
