Meshconvert

This DirectXMesh sample is an implementation of the "meshconvert" command-line utility from the DirectX SDK using DirectXMesh rather than D3DX. This tool imports geometry and prepares it for runtime use including generating normals and tangent frames, performing vertex-cache optimization, and writing it to a file format suited for runtime use.

The original tool imported from legacy X files. This version imports from Wavefront OBJ or VBO files.

Example

meshconvert cup.obj -n -op

This loads the geometry in a Wavefront OBJ file 'cup.obj', generates normals (using weight by angle), performs vertex-cache optimization, and then writes the result to cup.sdkmesh.
