ObjSequenceViewer V0.5

A minimal, standalone viewer for 3D animations stored as stop-motion sequences of individual .obj mesh files.

Installation:

• pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Execution:

• python3 ObjSequenceViewer_v0.5.py

After the program starts, you will be asked to specify the directory that the sequence of .obj meshes resides in (files need to be named in a consecutive manner).

All .obj meshes need to be loaded in RAM before the animation starts, which can be a time consuming process.

Tested on Ubuntu 20.04.

KeyBoard Controls:

• Rotate left: A button
• Rotate right: D button
• Zoom in: W button
• Zoom out: S button
• Toggle solid/wireframe view: F button

Output Recording:

• Use a screen capturing program (e.g., vokoscreen - https://github.com/vkohaupt/vokoscreenNG)

TODO:

• Add sliders for controling animation speed
• Add texture support
• Control background color
• Reduce loading time through parallelization
