A tools to generate Gazebo models from 3D models.(Sketchup files, *.dae, *.obj, *.stl, etc.)

The scripts will be released soon.

Step 1: Download the data from 3d warehouse.

Step 2: Using sketchup tools to convert *.skp files to *.obj with texture.

Step 3: using scripts convert to gazebo model and copy it to ~/.gazebo/models/

   This project is provide a scrip to convert 3D models from sketchup and convert it to gazebo models.

   This project provide a gazebo world. so if you wanna test the code, you need prepare the simulation world.

   Step 1: you need download sketchup software and install it in your Windows PC or Mac OX, Then choose your favourite models and download the sketchup files from this LINK.

   Step 2: Open *.skp files using Sketchup Software and export it in *.obj format, you will get MODEL_NAME.mtl, MODEL_NAME.obj, MODEL_NAME/ 3 files.

   Step 3:

mkdir auto_gen && cd auto_gen
git clone https://github.com/TurtleZhong/Gazebo-models-generator.git

usage: gazebo_models_generator.py [-h] [--model_type MODEL_TYPE]
                                  [--model_name MODEL_NAME]
                                  [--author_name AUTHOR_NAME]
                                  [--author_email AUTHOR_EMAIL]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --model_type MODEL_TYPE
                        The 3d model format(obj,stl,dae)
  --model_name MODEL_NAME
                        The output of the gazebo model name
  --author_name AUTHOR_NAME
                        The output of the Author name
  --author_email AUTHOR_EMAIL
                        The output of the author email

   Put the output of sketchup software, and put them in the input/ folder, eg Earth

  We only support *.obj format.

cd Gazebo-models-generator/
python3 gazebo_models_generator.py --model_name=Earth

python3 gazebo_models_generator.py --model_name=YOUR_MODEL_NAME

YOUR_MODEL_NAME must be the same with your sketchup export name!!!

   The script will automacticly gen gazebo models in output/models/MODEL_NAME, copy it to the ~/.gazebo/models/

cp -r output/models/MODEL_NAME ~/.gazebo/models/

If everything is OK, you will get this:

• Gazebo
• simulation environment
• ......
