I must create tool, which can load and display 3D model from command line argument, which will be filesystem path. So, maybe you know:
1)It’s possible to load model from absolute path in Urho?
2)Can Model class load model in .obj format, or I must do some conversion in runtime to Urho’s internal format?

Is it possible for open .obj file from external path?

Urho’s engine runtime itself does not contain code to load anything else than the .mdl internal model format.
Take a look at the AssetImporter tool included in Urho build, which uses assimp library to load various model files and save Urho .mdl’s. Some options that you have:
- Invoke AssetImporter in your utility
- Copy the relevant code from AssetImporter into your utility and link to assimp.

You can also check out Sample 34 - Dynamic Geometry. There is a some code there that demonstrates how to create a model at runtime. You’ll have to write some code to parse the obj file, though. Fortunately, this is well documented.
