GLTFState

Inherits: Resource < RefCounted < Object

Inherited By: FBXState

Represents all data of a GLTF file.

Description

Contains all nodes and resources of a GLTF file. This is used by GLTFDocument as data storage, which allows GLTFDocument and all GLTFDocumentExtension classes to remain stateless.

GLTFState can be populated by GLTFDocument reading a file or by converting a Godot scene. Then the data can either be used to create a Godot scene or save to a GLTF file. The code that converts to/from a Godot scene can be intercepted at arbitrary points by GLTFDocumentExtension classes. This allows for custom data to be stored in the GLTF file or for custom data to be converted to/from Godot nodes.

Property Descriptions

float bake_fps = 30.0 🔗

• void set_bake_fps(value: float)

• float get_bake_fps()

The baking fps of the animation for either import or export.

String base_path = "" 🔗

• void set_base_path(value: String)

• String get_base_path()

The folder path associated with this GLTF data. This is used to find other files the GLTF file references, like images or binary buffers. This will be set during import when appending from a file, and will be set during export when writing to a file.

Array[PackedByteArray] buffers = [] 🔗

• void set_buffers(value: Array[PackedByteArray])

• Array[PackedByteArray] get_buffers()

String copyright = "" 🔗

• void set_copyright(value: String)

• String get_copyright()

The copyright string in the asset header of the GLTF file. This is set during import if present and export if non-empty. See the GLTF asset header documentation for more information.

bool create_animations = true 🔗

• void set_create_animations(value: bool)

• bool get_create_animations()

There is currently no description for this property. Please help us by contributing one!

String filename = "" 🔗

• void set_filename(value: String)

• String get_filename()

The file name associated with this GLTF data. If it ends with .gltf, this is text-based GLTF, otherwise this is binary GLB. This will be set during import when appending from a file, and will be set during export when writing to a file. If writing to a buffer, this will be an empty string.

PackedByteArray glb_data = PackedByteArray() 🔗

• void set_glb_data(value: PackedByteArray)

• PackedByteArray get_glb_data()

The binary buffer attached to a .glb file.

Note: The returned array is copied and any changes to it will not update the original property value. See PackedByteArray for more details.

bool import_as_skeleton_bones = false 🔗

• void set_import_as_skeleton_bones(value: bool)

• bool get_import_as_skeleton_bones()

True to force all GLTFNodes in the document to be bones of a single Skeleton3D godot node.

PackedInt32Array root_nodes = PackedInt32Array() 🔗

• void set_root_nodes(value: PackedInt32Array)

• PackedInt32Array get_root_nodes()

The root nodes of the GLTF file. Typically, a GLTF file will only have one scene, and therefore one root node. However, a GLTF file may have multiple scenes and therefore multiple root nodes, which will be generated as siblings of each other and as children of the root node of the generated Godot scene.

Note: The returned array is copied and any changes to it will not update the original property value. See PackedInt32Array for more details.

String scene_name = "" 🔗

• void set_scene_name(value: String)

• String get_scene_name()

The name of the scene. When importing, if not specified, this will be the file name. When exporting, if specified, the scene name will be saved to the GLTF file.

Method Descriptions

void add_used_extension(extension_name: String, required: bool) 🔗

Appends an extension to the list of extensions used by this GLTF file during serialization. If required is true, the extension will also be added to the list of required extensions. Do not run this in GLTFDocumentExtension._export_post, as that stage is too late to add extensions. The final list is sorted alphabetically.

int append_data_to_buffers(data: PackedByteArray, deduplication: bool) 🔗

Appends the given byte array data to the buffers and creates a GLTFBufferView for it. The index of the destination GLTFBufferView is returned. If deduplication is true, the buffers will first be searched for duplicate data, otherwise new bytes will always be appended.

Array[GLTFAccessor] get_accessors() 🔗

There is currently no description for this method. Please help us by contributing one!

Variant get_additional_data(extension_name: StringName) 🔗

Gets additional arbitrary data in this GLTFState instance. This can be used to keep per-file state data in GLTFDocumentExtension classes, which is important because they are stateless.

The argument should be the GLTFDocumentExtension name (does not have to match the extension name in the GLTF file), and the return value can be anything you set. If nothing was set, the return value is null.

AnimationPlayer get_animation_player(idx: int) 🔗

Returns the AnimationPlayer node with the given index. These nodes are only used during the export process when converting Godot AnimationPlayer nodes to GLTF animations.

Returns the number of AnimationPlayer nodes in this GLTFState. These nodes are only used during the export process when converting Godot AnimationPlayer nodes to GLTF animations.
