Blender can export custom properties into a gltf/glb file. Is there any way to acess these in babylon?
Mesh.metadata doesn’t contain them.
Let me invoke our Blender Grandmaster @JCPalmer
Maybe @Vinc3r knows, but not actually a BJS question until they are actually in the file.
First, does gltf even have custom property / metadata storage?
If yes, then does the Blender implement it? For that I would go to the Blender / Khronos repo
If yes, ask if / how it is implemented in the loader.
@JCPalmer Blender does support this., the Khronos exporter as well.
(Added support to export custom properties/extras. · KhronosGroup/glTF-Blender-Exporter@0835c60 · GitHub)
Would you be open to a pr for this if it is not implemented in the loader yet?
This would be very handy for e.g. storing information about collision shapes (whether its a box, sphere, etc) or physics data like the mass of an object.
I did not write the glft loader in BJS. Think @Deltakosh flagged me because of Blender, back to him.
@mauricedoepke, I would create a simple plane, add a value like ‘I AM ALIVE’ for the custom property, then export in the text format.
You could then post the tiny file here, and ask why not , or where this is in the loaded scene.

Pinging @bghgary but I do think we expose it
3dsmax export to .gltf with tags links to a PG that adds a custom loader extension to read extras properties. You can do something similar for whatever extras you are exporting.
