assimp: Display a summary of a 3D file's contents.
$ assimp info ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "assimp info ${filename}" is used to obtain information about a 3D model file. Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "assimp": Refers to the Assimp (Open Asset Import Library) tool, which is a popular open-source library used for importing various 3D model formats.

  • "info": Specifies that we want to retrieve information about the 3D model file.

  • "${filename}": Represents the name or path of the 3D model file for which you want to gather information. The "${filename}" part is a placeholder, and you should replace it with the actual name or path of your file.

By running this command in a terminal or command prompt, Assimp will analyze the specified 3D model file and provide details about the model's structure, such as the number of vertices, faces, materials used, textures, animations, and more.
