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.

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

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.

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

Hi @Andriy_Lysnevych ! could you give a small sample (playground) how you use LoadAssetContainerAsync to load glb manually (perhaps from arrayBuffer)? Thanks in advance! Tim

@TimT77 Try converting the ArrayBuffer into a file.

You can also use a plain ArrayBufferView as the sceneSource, provided that you also specify the plugin extension to use. LoadAssetContainerAsync(arrayBufferView, scene, { pluginExtension: ".glb" });

@Kochab Many thanks for reply! I tried this before, but with this i got “Not allowed to load local resource: file://file.glb/”.

Hi @alexchuber ! Many thanks for reply! How do i get a arrayBufferView? I have a normal arrayBuffer with the glb as content. How do i “convert” the arrayBuffer into a arrayBufferView?

If you’re running your babylon code on localhost, then localhost should serve the file. So if file.glb is in the same directory as index.html, then you should be able to do something like http://localhost:8080/file.glb. Note 8080 is an arbitrary port number I chose, and yours could be different. Or …

Super easy :smiley: LoadAssetContainerAsync(new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer), scene, { pluginExtension: ".glb" });

What is an alternative for deprecated SceneLoader.ImportMeshAsync?

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