Android 3D Model Viewer

codeship badge

This is a demo of OpenGL ES 2.0. It is an android application with a 3D engine that can load Wavefront OBJ, STL, DAE & glTF files. The application is based on andresoviedo's project which can be found here with an additional function of loading and rendering glTF format.
The purpose of this application is to learn and share how to draw using OpenGLES and Android. As this is my first android app, it is highly probable that there are bugs; but I will try to continue improving the app and adding more features.

Notice

  • Collada support is limited. Collada renderer currently supports a maximum of 60 bones.
  • In order to see models in 3D virtual reality, you need red-cyan and/or VR glasses
  • If you have any issue in general,please open an issue and attach model if possible, specifying Android version and Device model.

About

Load 3D models and see how to do it with this open source code application.

The main purpose of this app is to show how to draw in android using the OpenGL 2.0 by sharing the source code. So please, don't expect this application to be much richer or nicer than the ones already published in the app store, but at least it's opened to anyone who wants to contribute or don't want to start a similar project from scratch.

As this is my first android app and Im still learning the OpenGL 2.0 language, it is highly probable that there are bugs; but I will try to continue improving the app and adding more features. So please send me your comments, suggestions or complains by opening an issue or email me to andresoviedo@gmail.com.

The app comes with some included 3D models that were taken for free from Internet.

Whats next

  • Chromecast support
  • 3D without glasses
  • Augmented reality
  • Collada: Show bind pose, key frames and variate speed
  • glTF: Add animation support
  • glTF: Apply PBR material
  • Add support to Android API below level 24
  • Clean up code

Features

  • Supports >= API Level 24
  • OpenGL ES 2.0 API
  • Formats: OBJ (wavefront), STL (STereoLithography), DAE (Collada-BETA), gltf (glTF)
  • calculation of normals
  • transformations: scaling, rotation, translation
  • colors
  • textures
  • lighting
  • wireframe & points mode
  • bounding box drawing
  • object selection
  • camera support
    • tap to select object
    • drag to move camera
    • rotate with 2 fingers to rotate camera
    • pinch & spread to zoom in/out the camera
  • skeletal animations
  • ray collision detection
  • stereoscopic 3D
  • other:
    • texture loader
    • lightweight: only 1 Megabyte

Try it

You can install the application in either of these ways:
Without glTF support:

With glTF support:

  • clone the repository, compile with gradle and install with adb
    export ANDROID_HOME=/home/$USER/Android/Sdk
    ./gradlew assembleDebug
    adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk
    adb shell am start -n org.andresoviedo.dddmodel2/org.andresoviedo.app.model3D.MainActivity
  • clone the repository, build and run with android studio

Open the application. You should see a menu. From there you can load models Once the model is rendered, pinch and rotate to see the 3D scene from another perspective.

Emulator

You can run application in an emulator

// install some file provider (i.e. es file explorer)
adb devices -l
adb -s emulator-5554 install .\com.estrongs.android.pop_4.0.3.4-250_minAPI8(armeabi,x86)(nodpi).apk
// push some files to test file loading
adb -s emulator-5554 push .\app\src\main\assets\models /sdcard/download
