Import/Export Scene with SceneSerializer (additional materials)

[david028 1]

I am working on a scene exported from 3ds Max. It's great for making the bulk of the scene but I always end up making minor adjustments to materials in the browser because it never quite looks the same in babylon.js.

 

I have tried using the SceneSerializer to save the scene after making changes and noticed that it is saving with a larger array of materials than the original. For example I use the SceneLoader to load a scene with 8 materials and then SceneSerializer exports a scene with twice as many materials, some with duplicate names.

 

Does anyone know the reason for this or a workaround?

I noticed that also and I asked myself the same question. it appears that the materials are serialize twice.

Hmmm.... Let's fix that!

Which one of you can prepare a playground with the error?

One change I made recently to Materials.Parse is to check if the ID of a material already exists, then ignore loading it and return the first.  The intention is to allow sharing of materials across .babylons.

 

I mention this, so you are not confused using debug layer not loading everything.
