Chapter 7: Exploring the glTF File Format
In this chapter, we will explore glTF, a file format that contains everything you need to display animated models. It's a standard format that most three-dimensional content creation applications can export to and allows you to load any arbitrary model.
This chapter focuses on the file format itself. Later chapters will focus on implementing loading parts of glTF files as they become relevant. By the end of this chapter, you should have a solid understanding of the glTF file format.
This chapter will focus on building the following skills:
- Understanding what data is inside of a glTF file
- Implementing a glTF loading using cgltf
- Learning how to export glTF files from Blender
