gltf VS imaginary

This is a very ugly and confusing site which claims to be an overview of the format. I balked after trying in vain to parse it for two minutes. So off to the wiki.

Rustracer: a PBR glTF 2.0 renderer based on Vulkan ray-tracing, written in Rust.

I've found glTF ( https://www.khronos.org/gltf/ ) to be quite simple. The entire format is encompassed in something like a dozen entity types. Nice visual overview here:

Do yourself a favor and learn about making glFT files. That's the format they're using internally. One file, with everything self contained plus more advanced shader features than OBJ.

Looks like a GLTF file. https://www.khronos.org/gltf/

There are no standard 3d formats at the moment that you can use and view in VR with the same ease as you could a png/jpeg on a desktop, VR is still very much based around full apps with their own proprietary formats. But glTF/glb at least can be imported with reasonable ease into many different places, e.g. both the WMR and Oculus home environments have importer for them.

- Exporting as .obj might be a bit of a poor/outdated choice, please check gltf

hmm. never heard of GLTF. A quick look on their site shows max/maya/houdini/blender/C4D so thats good. It seems to be roylty free. Is it open source? Is that something I should be looking for?

Thank you for the response. The subreddit /glTF is basically dead because no one can post without moderator approval and the moderator has been inactive for the past 3 years. Can you please let me know what the "other reasons" are why you will not approve my request? I work for The Khronos Group who created and maintains glTF. Please see www.khronos.org/gltf for more information. Thank you for your reconsideration.

WebP also frequently produces lower quality or blurry images: - https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-going-blurry/ - https://github.com/h2non/imaginary/issues/240

One thing I didn't mention that AIO includes is a container called imaginary which is written in Go and processes images. I think this is mainly used here for generating image previews in NC.

Thanks. This is new to me. How is it different from https://github.com/h2non/imaginary?

There is also battle-tested imaginary tool [1], offering similar functionality and much more, also using libvips

Imaginary is a fast HTTP microservice written in Go allowing high-level image processing. Behind the scene, imaginary uses bimg and libvips libraries to perform the image manipulations.
