What is an alternative for deprecated SceneLoader.ImportMeshAsync?

Deprecated in this PR: Make SceneLoader module level functions PascalCase and add GetRegisteredSceneLoaderPluginMetadata by ryantrem · Pull Request #16154 · BabylonJS/Babylon.js · GitHub

Now linter gives a warning on using deprecated ImportMeshAsync but I don’t see a function that replaces it.

You can use BABYLON.appendSceneAsync("path/to/model.glb", scene).

See the announcement SceneLoader (and glTF) options for more details about the changes :slight_smile:

AppendSceneAsync doesn’t return meshes that are appended to the scene. It seems useless in my case. I want to have a reference to the appended mesh to manipulate it, so I don’t consider it a replacement for ImportMeshAsync.

In this case it is better to use LoadAssetContainerAsync, it has all needed options.
Note that loadAssetContainerAsync (starting with the small “l”) is deprecated.

Refactored to use LoadAssetContainerAsync and manually appending loaded stuff to a scene — all works. Thanks.
