Parsing the 3D model

[ssh4net]

Houman, hello!

What the common workflow to parse arbitrary 3D model with uv and vertex normals into glsl shader in GPUpad project?
In samples only gltf one but it mostly js related example.

Thank you.

Hi Vlad, thank you for your long time interest in this project!
There is unfortunately no simple way yet. I intended to include a "custom action" which allows one to import glTF models into the session. It was never finished and does not seem to work at the moment.
There have not been new releases in a while, since I am working on a bigger update (a Vulkan renderer).

No problem. Already got how make this works. And made a small tool to convert OBJ files to a separate (per attribute) files:

Later found that everything (except indexes) can be in the same file, but for prototyping separate files is fine 😀

Awesome! This is the first GPUpad related project (as far as I know).

I use GPUpad for prototyping different image processing shaders that I can use in my RawGL command line app. Quite specific use case, but I still think this much easier than using some game engines, or 3D apps...
This is a looong live stream I made with introduction into GPUpad, goal shaders and some image processing tricks https://www.youtube.com/live/iqFKEtDN1jU?si=5RaRDrjQ1qFSAaGa
