Load .glb animation from different file

[Trusiak]

hi

two years ago i decided migrate project from babylon.js to three.js for lack of opportunites to load animation into .glb folder from different files.

Is that changed? Can i load animation from different file, and merge it with mesh on scene?

found similar topic here: Load animations for .glb model from different .glb file but answers do not solve the problem presented by the author and me

thanks

We have a function ImportAnimationsAsync with a target converter which can help redirect an animation to another model.

Way to go with the BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportAnimationsAsync (in comparation with BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMeshAsync)

Hi there: In our projects, we have a workflow where the 3D Artist generates GLTF/GLB files with two different contents: mesh files; animation files of such meshes. Until now, we’re being using BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMeshAsync to load those animations-only assets, but we are certainly a little picky and think maybe BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImporAnimationsAsync is a more semantic and proper way to make the job. This said, We are able of course to load properly the animations with ImporAnimation…

Is this possible to share animation between two imported models?

Ok, then how to do it? Inside ImportMesh method I get a reference to some animation: const walkAnim = scene.getAnimationGroupByName( "Walking" ); So how to pass this animation to another model, let’s say scene2 of ImportedMesh()?
