Model Target Generator Automation

By jozefbritan on Wed, 05/09/2018 - 19:29

Hi,

As a AR developer I'm looking for some way, how to automate process form OBJ/FBX 3D model to Vuforia Database/Dataset, which will be similar to ImageTarget Cloud API workflow, but realized on our own backend and with 3D models. Main idea behind this scenario is to have customer's portal (without any interaction with Vuforia tools), where customer uploads his 3D models (almost middle sized industry equipment) from 3D scanner or some 3D/CAD soft like SolidWorks and our backend will be able to do everything else by automation, like convert OBJ/FBX to Dataset - import Dataset's files into Unity runtime object structure - dynamic procedures with Datasets, targets, trackers, appropriate virtual objects, animations and so on. . As first, we need automation tool for OBJ/FBX conversion to Dataset, but as I know there is just "clickable" Win app which allows to generate it. My questions : - is there some solution, how to use powershell scripting or something like that for Model Target Generator as backend automation ? - any idea how to realize our scenario with Vuforia  ? 

Thank you,
