Export as gltf

[FreakTheMighty]

Is there any way to export a babylonjs scene as a gltf rather than the ".babylon" format?

From where ? if from 3dsmax it is fully integrated.

[FreakTheMighty]

I'd like to export from babylon.js. For example, the babylonjs editor allows users to export a babylon scene file, instead I'd like to export a gltf.

you'll need a gltf serializer then. unfortunately, i'm no expert of gltf

Without ever having worked with or used the format, I guess you should be able to reverse the gltf loader to create a export function.

This does not exist currently in Babylon but is a nice idea. Somebody fancy creating a pull request ???

[FreakTheMighty]

Thanks @Sebavan , I had a feeling that was the answer. Can you point me to an entry point in the code that handles the current scene export?

[Sebavan]

Here it is: https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/tree/master/serializers/src currently only supporting obj

@Sebavan thanks, but what handles the ".babylon" export format that I see the the http://editor.babylonjs.com/?

Also, I've created a github issue here: https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/issues/3247 . I'm afraid I don't have much to contribute ATM, but I figure its worth getting the ball rolling with an issue.

The scene serializer handles it: https://github.com/sebavan/Babylon.js/blob/master/src/Tools/babylon.sceneSerializer.ts

and as gltf only support a subset, you can recreate the same as https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/master/serializers/src/OBJ/babylon.objSerializer.ts

Also if you prefer C# you can rely on https://github.com/BabylonJS/Exporters/blob/master/3ds Max/Max2Babylon/Exporter/BabylonExporter.GLTFExporter.cs which convert babylon to gltf for the 3dsmax exporter.

Please check above thread. .babylon to .gltf serialization is working properly for me. Hope this will also help you
