Load 3D Model in Unity using Assimp

Question

is it possible to load a 3D model in Unity using Assimp? When i search for code samples with Assimp, i only find c++ samples using Virtual Studio. I can load 3D Models with AssimpNET version 3.0 ( c# wrapper) with c# code, but my goal is to use the Assimp64.dll and not the AssimpNET.dll.

thanks :)

I'm also trying to achieve this. Putting Assimp64.dll in the project root and AssimpNet.dll in Assets/Plugins lets you use the Assimp code from Unity, but still there are some unusual errors when loading models (unexplainable NullReferenceException after a String.Format for me). Please post back if you figure it out!. This post seems helpful: tesla-engine.net/forums/topic/issues-with-unity3d – Holdup

The easiest way to use Assimp and and Unity is via Assimp-net 3.0. The latest version (3.3) doesn't work and writing your own native -> managed marshalling layer would be reinventing that wheel. Here's an example (not my code!): github.com/akadjoker/UnityAssimp – Holdup

Hi @Jenni, did you have any luck in using Assimp with Unity? If yes, that would be great if you could share your experience in that and help with some answers. Thanks. – Chilon

I also looking for a code sample to load a FBX from a server location dynamically into the game scene, please can anyone help with a code sample. – Vingtetun

Had anyone recently had success to import using assimp in Unity3d? – Voltameter

Note: akadjoker's unityassimp has mentioned in readme that it only works with unity4 and not 5 as there is some problem with it after API change. If some one really needs Assimp urgently for their project then there is a unitypackage called trilib in assetstore around 25 USD as of 03-May-2018 – Voltameter
