GLTFDocumentExtension

Inherits: Resource < RefCounted < Object

Inherited By: GLTFDocumentExtensionConvertImporterMesh

GLTFDocument extension class.

Description

Extends the functionality of the GLTFDocument class by allowing you to run arbitrary code at various stages of GLTF import or export.

To use, make a new class extending GLTFDocumentExtension, override any methods you need, make an instance of your class, and register it using GLTFDocument.register_gltf_document_extension.

Note: Like GLTFDocument itself, all GLTFDocumentExtension classes must be stateless in order to function properly. If you need to store data, use the set_additional_data and get_additional_data methods in GLTFState or GLTFNode.

Method Descriptions

void _convert_scene_node ( GLTFState state, GLTFNode gltf_node, Node scene_node ) virtual

Part of the export process. This method is run after _export_preflight and before _export_preserialize.

Runs when converting the data from a Godot scene node. This method can be used to process the Godot scene node data into a format that can be used by _export_node.

Error _export_node ( GLTFState state, GLTFNode gltf_node, Dictionary json, Node node ) virtual

Part of the export process. This method is run after _get_saveable_image_formats and before _export_post. If this GLTFDocumentExtension is used for exporting images, this runs after _serialize_texture_json.

This method can be used to modify the final JSON of each node.

Error _export_post ( GLTFState state ) virtual

Part of the export process. This method is run last, after all other parts of the export process.

This method can be used to modify the final JSON of the generated GLTF file.

Error _export_preflight ( GLTFState state, Node root ) virtual

Part of the export process. This method is run first, before all other parts of the export process.

The return value is used to determine if this GLTFDocumentExtension instance should be used for exporting a given GLTF file. If @GlobalScope.OK, the export will use this GLTFDocumentExtension instance. If not overridden, @GlobalScope.OK is returned.

Error _export_preserialize ( GLTFState state ) virtual

Part of the export process. This method is run after _convert_scene_node and before _get_saveable_image_formats.

This method can be used to alter the state before performing serialization. It runs every time when generating a buffer with GLTFDocument.generate_buffer or writing to the file system with GLTFDocument.write_to_filesystem.

Node3D _generate_scene_node ( GLTFState state, GLTFNode gltf_node, Node scene_parent ) virtual

Part of the import process. This method is run after _import_post_parse and before _import_node.

Runs when generating a Godot scene node from a GLTFNode. The returned node will be added to the scene tree. Multiple nodes can be generated in this step if they are added as a child of the returned node.

Note: The scene_parent parameter may be null if this is the single root node.
