Load an alias wavefront obj file into matlab.Updated Dec 2016

You are now following this Submission

Load an Wavefront/Alias obj style model. Will only consider polygons with 3, 4,5 or 6 vertices. Programme will, by default, ignore normal and texture data but these are available when loading into a single argument structure. It will also ignore any part of the obj specification that is not a polygon mesh, ie nurbs, these deficiencies can probably be remedied relatively easily.
