A tool using to generate Gazebo object models

SDF_Generator

The author has used Gazebo-models-generator for reference. SDF_Generator is for generating 3D object models (*sdf) in Gazebo with taking *.obj / *.dae as input. Different from Gazebo-models-generator, SDF_Generator can

• preprocess mesh files,
• handle *.dae files,
• consider inertia matrix,
• add different colors to models,
• consider surface friction

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ If one does not want to build SDF models from scratch, they can freely download models from another project SDF_Models.

✨✨✨ Tips:

• Sources to download mesh files (*.obj/*dae) of an object.

  • turbosquid
  • cgtrader
  • free3d
  • 3dwarehouse
  • gazebosim
  • sketchfab

• Blender and Sketchup can convert other formats (*.3DS) into *.obj / *dae.

• It is better to set origin to center of mass.
