Open Asset Importer Library

The Open Asset Importer Library (often called *Assimp*) is a tool that helps software read and understand 3D model files from various sources and formats. Instead of writing separate code for each file type, developers use Assimp to import models, textures, and animations efficiently, making it easier to include 3D content in applications like games or visualization tools. It supports many common formats, streamlining the process of integrating diverse 3D assets into a unified system.
