Hi again!

I'm finding it difficult to export 3D models to Three.js JSON format (which I presume is the required format for 3D models currently?) as it is now superseded by glTF for WebGL - is it possible to add support for glTF files in the mesh.cs library?

Or is there another way to easily load a different (non-EOL) file type for the GL Renderer to use? OBJ/MTL would be fine, for instance...

Thanks again!

Quick follow-up:

I discovered from the Monkey.Json file that it is the MeshLab JSON format that you are parsing for in your mesh loader, so I think that gets basic file loading sorted for now...
Are there any key requirements/considerations I should be aware of regarding creating 3D models for the current system?
I would love to add support for glTF so I am going to look at altering Mesh.cs to import glTF models via the glTF2Loader Nuget package.
I'll be happy to share that code if/when I get it running by way of paying back and helping others who may want to do similarly. Hopefully it shouldn't be too complex but I'll shout if I encounter any difficulties!
I would, however, like to add support for materials, which do not seem to be supported in your mesh/render pipeline currently - can you advise on how I might go about that from a data and rendering perspective without re-writing too much of the code as it stands?

Thanks,

I will probably leave materials for a while in that case - if I can get glTF models/textures loading into your data formats then that will be very helpful.

I'll get into that as soon as I get a chance and let you know how I get on!...

Cheers,
Dom
