scripts/docker-start.sh

Run the Scripts

# usage
node scripts/node.js/run.js -h

# convert from obj to fbx
node scripts/node.js/run.js -i data/fixtures/teapot/teapot.obj -o data/output/teapot.fbx

# convert from fbx to obj
node scripts/node.js/run.js -i data/fixtures/teapot/teapot.fbx -o data/output/teapot.obj

Formats supported

Notes

• It probably makes sense to use a python script as the entrypoint instead of a node.js script (future work?).
