Hello everyone,
maybe someone can help me please?
Currently I am importing a .babylon file from Maya with BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh.
During this import the textures associated with it over the materials are also imported and are using traffic and performance.
In my usecase I want to replace the materials by name after import. But the texture of the materials to be replaced are already requested and are using unnecessary resources.
Is there a way I can replace the existing material so that the referenced textures before are not requested and used?
@Kinggrass it sounds like you want to disable material export when exporting, as your materials are going to be overridden, and you only really care about the geometry loaded from the file, right? Currently we donât have a toggle for that, but adding one should be pretty trivial. Ill see if i can cook something up really quick for you.
thank you very much for your work.
Unfortunately it is not quite what i need. I hoped I expressed myself explicitly for no misunderstanding.
If the materials are not exported anymore the exported model does also not have any materials on it with their names I could replace/remap/override anymore.
If it could be done so textures are not included but the âmaterial-slotsâ (i will call it like that now for âempty materialsâ) so that the names are kept than it would be nice. Same Materials but without textures.
Other solution I could think of, is that it would be possible to give import options with BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh which considers them. There could be an option to skip texture import.
Other Point I noticed now is on the exporter a bug which came with the last build of the exporter. The Bottom Scroll-Bar is now out of window. And I cant see the start of a line, because I canât scroll to the left with the bar.
Ah, i see. Sorry for making the previous assumption. I did not fully understand your usecase.
I added a toggle to the exporter plugin to support this, âExport Texturesâ will ignore any textures in scene, while preserving your materials, and their non-texture related parameters.
Either way, âExport Materialsâ was a feature gap in the Maya exporter, so its good that I finally got around to it as well.
What I was talking about was the bottom edge of the window. The inner content is overflowing there.
Sry for my last picture. In the new one it is better to see.
But now after your last edit the horizontal scroll-bar is again visible but only to the half.
