glTF 1.0 and Binary glTF. Would be great for them to consider glTF 2.0.

If someone is willing to help post content here, we could promote this more widely. Please chime in here if you can help.
Would be fantastic, in case no one volunteers, if Khronos could at least secure financing to provide export plugins for Autodesk software..

@reduz for sure, I agree!!!
@pjcozzi https://www.virtualgis.io/gltfviewer/ is now updated to use Cesium 1.36, which supports glTF 2.0. Thanks!
@pierotofy great, feel free to open a pull request to add it to the master list.

I'm still waiting on the Sketchup Extension Warehouse team to approve my glTF exporter and glTF importer for Sketchup. The issue has been its their summer vacation. (Crazy people taking their summer vacation in winter! ;) Meanwhile I've added support for 8-bit indices, something I missed earlier - which really helps bring the file size down in some cases.

My Sketchup extensions for glTF import and export are now published in the Sketchup Extension Warehouse.
http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/gltf-exporter
http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/gltf-import
Exporter Limitations: Exports polygon meshes as triangles (primitive-mode 4), no lines, triangle strips or triangle fans. Choice of embedded glTF, binary glTF, and Microsoft-Compatible binary glTF for exporting to Paint3D.
Importer Limitations: Will not handle 8 or 16 bit normalized UVs (only floats). Only primitive mode 4 triangles will be imported.
The importer is very slow, (so please be patient) as it is written in Ruby and the ruby API for Sketchup is fairly limited when it comes to importing geometry. I may need to start on a C++ version of the importer, but this should do for now.
I don't know how to 'pull request to update the master list' so please help me out.
Awesome news, congrats @CentaurMare! Added to the master list in #1076.
What's next for you with glTF? 😄
What's next for me with glTF?
I will be monitoring the import and export extensions for a while, fixing bugs (already one has been discovered, I'm not setting transparency properly during import), and maybe adding support for importing and exporting lines.

My next big glTF project will probably be a re-write of the Importer from ruby code into C++ code to help speed things along, as I don't think waiting hours for a model to import into Sketchup is going to do much to encourage Sketchup users to adopt the file format! The speed issue isn't due to Ruby or my poor code, but is related to the API presented to ruby from Sketchup. Well, that is my excuse anyway.
@CentaurMare cool stuff, thanks for sharing! C++ port sounds super important for adoptions.

@fernandojsg really fantastic article, thanks for sharing! I added it to the list of glTF articles in #1084. Please keep us posted on your work!

@bghgary do you want to add this to the README.md?
@pjcozzi Let's leave it out of the README for now. Still trying to figure out a better deployment story. Also seeing issues with virus scanner detecting false positives on the executable.

(separate from #1058 (comment) AFAIK)
@pjcozzi It is good news. I am glad to see that the official supports the glTF format. 👍
It likes a confliction between their plugin and my plugin. But my plugin will have a lot of features in the plan. For example:
| Features | The official glTF Importer |
My glTF for UE4 |
|---|---|---|
| Support Versions | From UE4.19 | From UE4.10 💪 |
| Can Import | Yes | Yes |
| Can Export | No | Yes(doing) |
| Work in Editor | Yes | Yes |
| Work in Runtime | No | Yes(doing) |
| Generate Material | Yes | Yes(doing) |
| ... | ??? | Yes 😄 |
I use an official code as a reference to optimise my plugin. 😃
Thanks
@alexchicn wow, thanks for the insight. If you think there is potential collaboration with the UE glTF dev, I am happy to introduce you.
@alexchicn OK, I send you two a note now.
Thanks @alexchicn, I think we have Verge3D info listed above, #1058 (comment)
