Of coarse I noticed this was not happening and so logged the materials array of the scene and noticed many instances of the said single material , instead of one. So my question is how do I load an asset and when it loads it does not create a duplicate material , but rath…

Preventing duplication of materials and textures on a library of GLTF models

We’re working on building a library of 3d assets, and wondering what the best strategy in Babylon is for re-using textures as much as possible. Our 3D assets share a common set of textures. Let’s say there are around 100 textures in the game, and all of our GLTF models share them. Exporting from Blender and loading the GLTFs in the game results in each unique model loading a unique copy of the textures it uses, and I’m guessing that’s going to hurt performance and burden low-end devices as our …
