cannot load .obj file about webgl-obj-loader HOT 6 CLOSED

Update: I opened my .obj in Blender, and it shows up correctly. Then I exported it in .obj and I got this:
bb8_exported.obj.zip
Now, I can see the robot but it's too big, I'll resize it in some way.

So why can't webgl-obj-loader load the first .obj I attached?

I'm not sure why the Blender exported OBJ model appears to be doing better than the 3DS Max exported file. The order in which the "v", "vt", and "vn" lines appear doesn't matter as long as they are grouped with their appropriate "f" section. The only thing that appears different between the two files is the the 3DS Max OBJ file contains a lot more material information; this may somehow be affecting the parser.

I will try to take a look at this as soon as I can, but for now at least you have a workaround of loading the OBJ file into Blender and re-exporting.

Ok, thank you.
Here is how the scaled robot .obj is shown in blender

And here is how is shown if loaded by webgl-obj-loader

The sphere it is sort of roughly approximated by disjoint triangles, is it normal?
And what about the "non well-formed" errors?

from webgl-obj-loader.

Hmm, I know for sure that I saw faces (f) with more than 3 vertices (usually there were 4). The loader currently only supports a maximum of 4, so maybe there are some faces with more than 4?

There is an issue (#25) to support N-gons, but it hasn't been worked yet.

Try exporting the model in Blender again, but this time select the check box for triangulating the faces. This will force the output to have exactly 3 vertices per face.

I will also have to check out the "non well-formed" errors.

Thanks for reporting this and for all of the detailed information!

Ok, thank you: with triangulated faces it show up perfectly. Now I can use it.
The only remaining problem is load the downloaded .obj, but the blender re-exporting workaround works just fine for now.
