gltf2loader 0.1.0

Getting started

Add gltf2loader to your project's dependencies or copy gltf2.d into your source folder and then import the module:

import glTF2Loader;

Usage

Loading an asset

To load and parse an asset:

glTF2Asset asset = glTF2Asset (fileName);

or

glTF2Asset asset;

asset.load (fileName);

The glTF2Asset struct is reset every time a new asset is loaded.

Reading JSON data

All JSON data is stored in arrays of structs within glTF2Asset. They map one-to-one to corresponding JSON objects and match their structures, with a few exceptions:

• extensions and extra fields are ignored for the time being, since no extensions are supported as of right now;
• there are no separate perspective and orthographic objects in glTF2Camera struct; instead, it contains zfar, znear, aspectRatio, yfov, xmag and ymag fields, camera type is stored in an enum and unused fields are ignored;
• most importantly, glTF2Buffer and glTF2Image have a data field of type void[] where binary data is stored.

Reading binary data

asset.accessData (accessorIndex) retrieves data through the specified accessor. It returns void[]; you're supposed to know what to do with the data.

asset.accessSparseData (accessorIndex) retrieves data through the specified sparse accessor. It returns void[][uint]; again, you're supposed to know what to do with the data.

asset.accessImage (imageIndex) retrieves raw data for the specified image. NB: image data stored in buffers is not duplicated in glTF2Image structs; for this reason, reading image data directly from glTF2Image.data is not recommended.

Capabilities and spec conformance

All standard glTF2 objects are currently supported, as well as embedded buffers and .glb files. As mentioned earlier, no extensions are currently supported; if the asset specifies any required extensions, loader will output an error message to stdout and return without loading the asset (though it will still reset the glTF2Asset struct).

All assets from the official sample models repository should load and parse correctly (except the ones with Draco-compressed buffers).
