GLTF

GLTF

---

The GLTF plugin converts glTF geometry to BRL-CAD geometry. This is a part of the geometry conversion library, and the accepted file types are .gltf and .glb.

Progress

---

Currently the plugin is capable of:

• creating a hierarchy of the geometry scene
• applying the mesh with its mesh name
• getting object data, like location, shape, and size
• applying translations for each mesh

To-Do

---

Texture/Materials

• The GLTF plugin does not get the materials and textures data applied to the meshes.

Animations

• The plugin does not apply animations.

Interleaved Geometry

• The plugin does not check to see if the file has interleaved geometry. Therefore, this option would need to get integrated.

Missing Geometry

• For complicated models, there are some meshes that do not appear due to not getting all of the meshes correct primitive data. A mesh can have multiple primitive data therefore being able to match the mesh with its corresponding primitive data would get the remaining meshes of the model.

Naming Issue

• Some files contain mesh data that do not have a mesh name. Currently, it increments the shape number per mesh found. This is incorrect however since all mesh should correspond with their same naming scheme.
