I created a .obj loader by modifying some code i found online, to parse to .obj file I do the following
int mesh::getMesh(char* inputFile, std::vector<std::vector<glm::vec3>> & out_vertices,std::vector < glm::vec2 > & out_uvs,std::vector < glm::vec3 > & out_normals){
std::cout << "Attempting to load file as model " << inputFile << "\n";
std::vector<std::vector<unsigned int>> vertexIndices, uvIndices, normalIndices;
std::vector<glm::vec3> temp_vertices;
std::vector<glm::vec2> temp_uvs;
std::vector<glm::vec3> temp_normals;
FILE * file = fopen(inputFile, "r");
if( file == NULL ){
std::cout << "Impossible to open the file !\n";
return 0;
}
while( 1 ){
char lineHeader[128];
// read the first word of the line
int res = fscanf(file, "%s", lineHeader);
if (res == EOF)
break; // EOF = End Of File. Quit the loop.
if ( strcmp( lineHeader, "v" ) == 0 ){
glm::vec3 vertex;
fscanf(file, "%f %f %f\n", &vertex.x, &vertex.y, &vertex.z );
temp_vertices.push_back(vertex);
}else if ( strcmp( lineHeader, "vt" ) == 0 ){
glm::vec2 uv;
fscanf(file, "%f %f\n", &uv.x, &uv.y );
temp_uvs.push_back(uv);
}else if ( strcmp( lineHeader, "vn" ) == 0 ){
glm::vec3 normal;
fscanf(file, "%f %f %f\n", &normal.x, &normal.y, &normal.z );
temp_normals.push_back(normal);
}else if ( strcmp( lineHeader, "f" ) == 0 ){
unsigned int vertexIndex[3], uvIndex[3], normalIndex[3];
int matches = fscanf(file, "%d/%d/%d %d/%d/%d %d/%d/%d\n", &vertexIndex[0], &uvIndex[0], &normalIndex[0], &vertexIndex[1], &uvIndex[1], &normalIndex[1], &vertexIndex[2], &uvIndex[2], &normalIndex[2] );
if (matches != 9){
std::cout << "File can't be read by the parser : ( Try exporting with other options )\n";
return 0;
}
std::vector<unsigned int> vertexTriangle;
vertexTriangle.push_back(vertexIndex[0]);
vertexTriangle.push_back(vertexIndex[1]);
vertexTriangle.push_back(vertexIndex[2]);
vertexIndices.push_back(vertexTriangle);
//uvIndices .push_back(uvIndex[0]);
//uvIndices .push_back(uvIndex[1]);
//uvIndices .push_back(uvIndex[2]);
//std::vector<unsigned int> normalTriangle;
//normalTriangle.push_back(normalIndex[0]);
//normalTriangle.push_back(normalIndex[1]);
//normalTriangle.push_back(normalIndex[2]);
//normalIndices.push_back(normalTriangle);
}
}
for( unsigned int i=0; i<vertexIndices.size(); i++ ){
std::vector<unsigned int> vertexIndexs=vertexIndices[i];
//glm::vec3 vertex0 = temp_vertices[ vertexIndexs[3]-1 ];
glm::vec3 vertex1 = temp_vertices[ vertexIndexs[0]-1 ];
glm::vec3 vertex2 = temp_vertices[ vertexIndexs[1]-1 ];
glm::vec3 vertex3 = temp_vertices[ vertexIndexs[2]-1 ];
std::vector<glm::vec3> vertex;
vertex.push_back(vertex1); vertex.push_back(vertex2); vertex.push_back(vertex3);
out_vertices.push_back(vertex);
}
return 1;
}
I then draw it using
<initialization...>
std::vector<std::vector<glm::vec3>> vertices;
std::vector<glm::vec2> uvs;
std::vector<glm::vec3> normals;
mesh::getMesh("Resources/Models/cube.obj",vertices,uvs,normals);
<window handling and whatnot...>
for (unsigned i=0; i < vertices.size(); i++) {
std::vector<glm::vec3> vertexGroup = vertices[i];
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
glVertex3f(vertexGroup[0].x,vertexGroup[0].y,vertexGroup[0].z);
glVertex3f(vertexGroup[1].x,vertexGroup[1].y,vertexGroup[1].z);
glVertex3f(vertexGroup[2].x,vertexGroup[2].y,vertexGroup[2].z);
glEnd();
}
This works fine for this .obj file

but when i move onto something more complicated, like A low poly model of a man i took from a free model site as a testbed, its missing a triangle to every face (see screenshots below)
The Cube:
The Humanoid
The man renders fine in blender so it must be how I'm parsing the file?
