hi everybody,

i am having lots of fun with the wonderful hemesh library from frederik vanhoutte.

in my last experiment i wanted to import a 3d model of a bottle:

i tried to go via HEC_FromObjFile and i also tried HEC_From3dsFile, but i can't get it to run.

the call of the constructor just doesn't return:

mesh = new HEC_FromObjFile(sketchPath("Bottle.obj")).create();

no error message and no exception. the call runs forever till i kill the process.

tried it with other models, but that produced the same results.

am i missing something?

Two questions:

Where in the code are you making this call? Have you used a println() to debug the .obj file location?
Have you tried to load the .obj file with Processing 2.0's loadShape() method into a PShape?
