write

Mesh.write(filename, quiet=True, **data)[source]

Write mesh to file.

Data arrays, like vertex normals and texture coordinates, can be saved by passing them as keyword arguments.

Parameters:

  • filename (str) – Name of an OBJ file.

  • quiet (bool, optional) – Suppress console output.

  • **data – Arbitrary keyword arguments.

User defined data blocks can be written with

>>> mesh.write('output-file.obj', line_tag=data)

This assumes that data can be interpreted as a 2-dimensional array. The contents of each row are written to a line that starts with the given tag. If vertex normals are available, they can be stored via

>>> mesh.write('outfile-file.obj', vn=normals)

Note

The standard OBJ tags ‘v’ and ‘f’ may not be used as keywords since they are implicitly used when writing mesh data to an OBJ file.
