Crate gltf

glTF 2.0 loader

This crate is intended to load glTF 2.0, a file format designed for the efficient runtime transmission of 3D scenes. The crate aims to provide rustic utilities that make working with glTF simple and intuitive.

Installation

Add gltf version 0.15 to your Cargo.toml.

[dependencies.gltf]
version = "0.15"

Examples

Basic usage

Walking the node hierarchy.

let gltf = Gltf::open("examples/Box.gltf")?;
for scene in gltf.scenes() {
    for node in scene.nodes() {
        println!(
            "Node #{} has {} children",
            node.index(),
            node.children().count(),
        );
    }
}

Import function

Reading a glTF document plus its buffers and images from the file system.

let (document, buffers, images) = gltf::import("examples/Box.gltf")?;
assert_eq!(buffers.len(), document.buffers().count());
assert_eq!(images.len(), document.images().count());

Note

This function is provided as a convenience for loading glTF and associated resources from the file system. It is suitable for real world use but may not be suitable for all real world use cases. More complex import scenarios such downloading from web URLs are not handled by this function. These scenarios are delegated to the user.

You can read glTF without loading resources by constructing the Gltf (standard glTF) or Glb (binary glTF) data structures explicitly.

Re-exports

pub extern crate gltf_json as json;

Modules

accessor	Accessors for reading vertex attributes from buffer views.
animation	Animations, their channels, targets, and samplers.
binary	Primitives for working with binary glTF.
buffer	Buffers and buffer views.
camera	Cameras and their projections.
image	Images that may be used by textures.
iter	Iterators for walking the glTF node hierarchy.
material	Material properties of primitives.
mesh	Meshes and their primitives.

Structs

Accessor	A typed view into a buffer view.
Animation	A keyframe animation.
Buffer	A buffer points to binary data representing geometry, animations, or skins.
Camera	A camera's projection. A node can reference a camera to apply a transform to place the camera in the scene.
Document	glTF JSON wrapper.
Glb	Binary glTF contents.
Gltf	glTF JSON wrapper plus binary payload.
Image	Image data used to create a texture.
Material	The material appearance of a primitive.
Mesh	A set of primitives to be rendered.
Node	A node in the node hierarchy.
Primitive	Geometry to be rendered with the given material.
Scene	The root nodes of a scene.
Skin	Joints and matrices defining a skin.
Texture	A texture and its sampler.

Enums

Error	Represents a runtime error.
Semantic	Vertex attribute semantic name.

Functions

import	Import some glTF 2.0 from the file system.
import_slice	Import some glTF 2.0 from a slice

Type Definitions

Attribute	Vertex attribute data.
Result	Result type for convenience.
