Obj2Html

This lib is able to transform an .obj file to HTML that use three.js. In this way it is possible to have an interactive 3D view that can be used on the browser or into a jupyter notebook.

Install with pip install obj2html and use with obj2html('model.obj', 'index.html')

• run into jupyter notebook (jupyter_example.ipynb):

! pip install obj2html
! wget https://gitlab.com/nicolalandro/obj2html/-/raw/main/test/assets/model.obj
from obj2html import obj2html
from IPython.display import display, HTML

obj2html('model.obj', 'index.html')

display(HTML('index.html'))

• run into streamlit app (streamlit_example.py):

# pip install obj2html streamlit
# have a model.obj (wget https://gitlab.com/nicolalandro/obj2html/-/raw/main/test/assets/model.obj)

import streamlit as st
import streamlit.components.v1 as components
from obj2html import obj2html

html_string = obj2html("model.obj", html_elements_only=True)
components.html(html_string)
with open("model.obj") as f:
    st.download_button('Download model.obj', f, file_name="download_name.obj")

Features

• .obj files support
• pipy delivery
• guide for notebook
• pypi doc add image
• edit html positions and other 3D params
• add param for streamlit
• document param for streamlit
• auto center and fit the 3D object on the camera view
• dist wheel for pypi
• load three.js as static file
• .mat files support

Dev

• run test

python3.8 -m unittest discover

• run test with coverage

pip install coverage
python3.8 -m coverage run --source=src -m unittest discover
python3.8 -m coverage report -m

• deploy pipy

pip install twine

rm -rf dist

python setup.py sdist
twine check dist/*

twine upload dist/*
