Editor exported .babylon shows reflectionProbe texture error on scene load

[dsman]

- I had a Babylon scene, which was opening fine through very basic scene code with basic camera and light setting. 

- I opened the scene in Babylon editor (editor.babylon.com) and added a reflection probe named "New Reflection Probe", attached to a mesh, added meshes to its render list and finally set ReflectionTexture in a PBR material properties for a mesh to this "New Reflection Probe" from the drop-down. 

- Everything is fine. The mesh was showing reflection as expected. 

- Now I exported Babylon scene. Copied the JSON content that shows up in the export popup.  Replaced the content of my .babylon file with that content. And tried reloading the page. It showed errors like below in browser console:

If I understand Probes well, they are runtime generated and are in-memory. Why them Babylon is looking for texture files?

PS: I don't understand the reason behind showing Babylon JSON in a popup for Babylon Export in Babylon Editor. Especially prettified/maxified JSON. After saving the exported JSON output it was 16 MB. I literally tried 5-6 plugins of Notepad++, Sublime, and VS Code, none worked. I tried online minifier but browser, of course, became irresponsive. I tried 2-3 node packages too but it didn't work.  Ideally, the export option should simply download the .babylon file automatically. Not sure who would use prettified/maxified JSON for what purpose.

ping @Luaacro.

Hey thanks for feedback!

@dsman I’m adding this feature. For the reflection probes, we need to update Babylon.js. I’ll let you know once done

[dsman]

@Luaacro Thanks. Would be waiting for the commit. Please update when you do. 

[julien-moreau]

Hey @dsman, for the feature you asked it has just been added and deployed at http://editor.babylonjs.com/

My next step is to add Reflection Probe well parsed and will let you know once done!

[dsman]

@Luaacro   Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the fix for Reflection Probe.

@Deltakosh is there any action to serialize / parse reflection probes ?

If not, I can focus and pull request

We don't so far. So please be my guest
