<div>@Sean That's what I what I was thinking as well. Some of the more comprehensive ones (such as Collada) are difficult to write importers for.</div>

Is this something that could be added? For iMSTK, we need some features that are not currently supported by the existing file formats.

I've never heard of Assimp, but it looks pretty cool and useful for our own uses of VTK. We use VTK to read ply and stl files, and if VTK could read even more formats via this library that'd be great, since users tend to have all sorts of wacky files.<br>
