3D format

[MarkBParticipant]

Just out of interest does anyone know what 3d format, Monkey 3D will be using.

.b3d ,.3ds ,.obj

Gltf2 will be the ‘standard’ built-in format and will always be available, but I also plan to add an external ‘assimp’ module which will handle quite a few formats, ie: http://assimp.sourceforge.net/main_features_formats.html

Thank you.
khronosgroup are working on a blender exporter. https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF/issues/867

What current (free) tools support exporting to Gltf2?

GLTF looks nice,

The duck here –

says it was made with COLLADA2GLTF, perhaps this one –

What current (free) tools support exporting to Gltf2?

Currently very few as it’s a very new format. But there are several under dev, including one for blender (sponsored by Kronos) and an online one too.

I am using gltf2 as the built-in/native format as it’s ideal for games – lightweight, fast, open, free etc, with a feature set that matches modern game engines and PBR materials very nicely. I am hoping to be able to support the full gltf2 feature set eventually.

Here’s a bunch of gltf2 WIPS:

The duck here –

Yay, the duck’s back! That wasn’t in the gltf2.0 samples a few weeks back…

It would be kind of nice to add a gltf2 exporter to mx23d. In combination with assimp importers I’d then be able to easily add a convertor to Ted, but this will have to wait for a while.
