Import 3D Model (.FBX or .OBJ) into Unity at runtime from Web Url

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find a way to import a 3D model in either .fbx or .obj format into a Unity scene at run time from a web URL. I'm trying to make a personal Unity application that lets me download and load 3D files from a web server that my friends can upload to.

Is this possible? If so, are there scripts for it already or can someone point me in a good direction?

Thanks!

There are plenty assets free and paid on AssetStore and this script on wiki: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/FastObjImporter - regarding import of obj files at runtime.

But FastObjImporter or ObjImporter doesn't use the URL, does it?

The downloaded object from URL is in System.Byte[] format.

Can you suggest some free assets on assetStore?

@chiddaan FastObjImporter uses local files it appears. Try using the WWW class to download the obj from the URL before opening with this.

Hey Joe,

As I said, I have downloaded the object(.obj) using UnityWebRequest. It's in System.Byte[] form.

Now I am just trying to use it as a GameObject in my scene.

I am trying to figure out, how to use this code and my Byte[] to talk to each other.
