Assimp.NET

----------



This part of the assimp project provides a .NET wrapper for the main assimp 

classes and a test viewer written in C# that shows how to use the API.



NOTE: This has only been tested on 32-bit Windows 7 in .NET 3.5SP1 compiled

      under Visual Studio 2008 with the 'Debug' and 'Release' targets.







How To Build

------------



For Windows:



You don't need to build the main assimp projects first, that project is

referenced in the "Assimp.NET.sln" solution file so you can test C++ changes

to the main assimp source from the C# viewer application.





1) Download SWIG 2.0.0 or later (http://sourceforge.net/projects/swig/)

   Install it somewhere like (C:\Program Files\swigwin-2.0.0).



   NOTE: you can leave this step out, provided the SWIG-generated

   files in the repository are up-to-date. This will usually be

   the case in release versions, but not necessarily in TRUNK.





2) Download Boost 1.43.0 or later (http://www.boost.org/)

   Install it somewhere like (C:\Program Files\Boost\boost_1_43_0).



2) In Visual Studio 2008 go to:

   Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories

   Set "Platform:" to "Win32"

   Set "Show directories for:" to "Executable Files"

   - Add the swig directory to this list (C:\Program Files\swigwin-2.0.0).

   Set "Show directories for:" to "Include Files"

   - Add the boost directory to this list (C:\Program Files\Boost\boost_1_43_0).



3) Open the "Assimp.NET.sln" solution file in Visual Studio



4) Build and run Assimp.NET_DEMO.





By default, the viewer application loads a pre-defined 3DS test file from

the /test/models/3DS folder. To load another file, pass it on the

command line.



The viewer is very minimalistic, don't expect all files to be displayed 

properly. Feel free to extend it ;-)
