Wavefront .obj file format is a funny one. Similar to GIF, it’s a format from the 1990s, that absolutely should not be widely used anymore, yet it refuses to go away. Part of the appeal of OBJ is relative simplicity, I guess. In the previous blog post I asked myself a question, “is this new Blender OBJ parsing code even good?” Which means, time to compare it with some other existing libraries for parsing Wavefront OBJ files.
