As I can see it, KHR_mesh_quantization is currently not supported by the glTF exporter.

cc @bghgary who will know more (but be patient as he is currently in vacation).

Right, KHR_mesh_quantization is not currently supported, but it should be easy to add. Would anyone want to contribute a fix?

After checking with @bghgary, it is actually not straightforward at all to add.

We won’t do it for the version 6.x but are fully open to contribution if you need this pretty soon ? Otherwise, we will wait for more request from the community to prioritize it.

As a crappy workaround, after serializing to a GLB from Babylon.js, put the GLB through something like glTF-Transform to convert the data back.
