Adding external 3D(.OBJ & .MTL) Objects to ARToolkit

Question

I have been working on the ARToolkit sdk for android since some time.

In the ARToolkit SDK, I have worked on ARBaseLib and ARSimpleNativeCarsProj and implemented successfully. But I am trying to add external 3d Objects(.obj and .mtl) and I am unable to render the new object files.

I have also looked into the source code provided in this link, https://github.com/kosiara/artoolkit-android-studio-example but the problem here is the 3D object(Cube) has been created in using the draw(), openGL libraries function, instead i would want to add an external 3D Object.

More Explanation: Okey, SimpleNativeCarsProj comes along with two 3D Objects(.OBJ and .MTL) in the assets/Data folder. CASE1 I tried replacing the existing 3Dobject with another 3D Objects, App Crashes on the launch CASE2 As I worked around a little, these files are pushed to the cache folder on the app load, I invalidated the caches and restarted android studio, rebuilt and ran the app, still the app crashes on the launch. Technically I am unable to Replace/Delete/Add another 3D Object files to SimpleNativeCarsProject

Any headsup would be appreciated.

As you already know how the SimpleNativeCarsProj works I wonder if you could give me some more details what you mean by loading external 3D objects? And if you could provide some insights into your project structure. — Thor_Bux, Mar 10 '17 at 22:04

Have a look here at his project. She successfully added other obj files and markers. Maybe that helps: https://github.com/sophiemoerman/ARSimpleNativeCars — Thor_Bux, Mar 11 '17 at 07:52

Convert your FBX files

The Encoder works wit FBX (.fbx) files. We recommend using FBX wherever possible as tools support for FBX is widely available.

So you suggest me not to use ARToolkit or ARToolkit allows FBX files ? – Raveendra Mar 10 '17 at 13:32
Using FBX or using wikitude is not an option for me, I'm keenly looking in to ARtoolkit implementation. Thanks for the option anyway !! – Raveendra Mar 10 '17 at 15:26
I have used ARToolkit with Three js in Cordoba. Slow for lack of support for opengl. – identy Mar 11 '17 at 16:06

Give ArToolKitJpctBaseLib a try. It is a wrapper on ArToolKit + jPCT-AE (a 3d Engine on Android) aims to simplify creation of AR apps for Android.
