We are pleased to announce the availability of new version 16.11.0 of Aspose.3D for .NET API. The new version adds support of GL Transmission Format (glTF). Developers can import glTF files into the Aspose.3D API, and then export them in any supported 3D format. Developers can also save all dependencies of a 3D scene in the real file system. The GL Transmission Format (glTF) is an efficient, extensible, interoperable format for the transmission and loading of 3D content. Developers can install Aspose.3D Nuget package in their .NET applications because we publish each version as a NuGet package on the NuGet gallery. We recommend our clients upgrade the old version of the Aspose.3D API to this latest one. For details on API fixes, please check Release Notes having a complete list of the features, enhancements and bug fixes.
Import and Export 3D Scenes from/to glTF in C#
Using Aspose.3D API, developers can now convert any supported 3D file to glTF format, and vice versa. The GL Transmission Format (glTF) is a runtime asset delivery format for GL APIs. Being an open standard, it fills a real and growing need to bring 3D assets quickly and efficiently to a wide variety of platforms and devices. Please check these help topics to set load and save glTF settings: Use of the glTF Load Options and Use of the glTF Save Options
Export Dependencies of a 3D Scene to Real File System
Aspose.3D API allows developers to retrieve all dependency files from a 3D model, and then write them in the real file system or simply discard. There are three ways to save dependency files as define a path of the local directory, save in the MemoryFileSystem class object and simply discard saving dependencies. The FileSystem property is added to all save option classes. These articles show how developers can save dependencies of a 3D scene: Save Dependencies in the Local Directory, Save Dependencies in the MemoryFileSystem Object and Discard Saving the Material Files.
