Stable release 6.0.5 [ 1 ]   / 30 April 2026 ; 57 days ago  ( 30 April 2026 ) Operating system Cross-platform Type 3D model import library License BSD Website www .assimp .org Repository github .com /assimp /assimp Open Asset Import Library ( Assimp ) is a cross-platform 3D model import library which aims to provide a common application programming interface (API) for different 3D asset file formats . Written in C++ , it offers interfaces for both C and C++. Bindings to other languages (e.g., BlitzMax , C# , Python ) are developed as part of the project or are available elsewhere. [ 2 ] Given the importance and benefits of Assimp, a pure Java (/Kotlin) port is being developed here . The imported data is provided in a straightforward, hierarchical data structure. Configurable post processing steps (i.e., normal and tangent generation, various optimizations) augment the feature set. [ 3 ] Assimp currently supports 57 different file formats for reading, including COLLADA (.dae), 3DS , DirectX X , Wavefront OBJ and Blender 3D (.blend). [ 4 ] As of Version 3.0 Assimp also provides export functionality for some file formats. [ 5 ] Projects using Assimp [ edit ] Several open source projects use Assimp, such as MonoGame [ 6 ] and Urho3D . [ 7 ] Resonite (and its predecessor NeosVR ) – A social virtual reality platform that uses Assimp to import a wide range of 3D model formats, facilitating its real-time and collaborative content creation features. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Torque3D added Assimp in Torque3D 4.0. [ 10 ] Godot added Assimp in Godot 3.2, [ 11 ] but this was replaced in Godot 3.3 and later.

"FBX importer rewrite" . Godot . Retrieved 2020-11-01 . This is a complete rewrite of the importer. It will give more deterministic behavior. Over 1 year has gone into the development of this importer to remove the burden of the FBX SDK. ^ Lee, K. S. Ernest (iFire) (2022-03-28). "Add fbx2gltf support for importing .fbx files" . Godot . Retrieved 2023-08-21 . Lets you drag or place .fbx files in the project folder and it will import the files. An editor setting sets the location of the fbx2gltf binary.
