Model Assets
After the model is imported, the imported model asset will be added to the Asset Panel. By clicking on the asset thumbnail, you can see the basic information of this model.
| Area | Function | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| View Area | Preview | Similar to glTF viewer, developers can easily observe the model's different animations from various angles |
| Basic Info | URL | The CDN link of the model |
| DrawCall | The number of times this model calls for drawing | |
| ComputeTangents | Processing of tangent information in the model's vertex data | |
| Material Remapping | Material List in the Model | Corresponding remapped materials |
| Export | Cut first frame | Whether to cut the first frame |
| isGLB | Whether to export in GLB format | |
| Export glb/glTF | Export the model to local |
Sub-assets of the Model
Hover the mouse over the model asset thumbnail and click the triangle button that appears on the right. The mesh, textures, animations, materials, and other sub-asset information contained in the model asset will be displayed in the resource panel.
Mesh Sub-assets
Click on the mesh sub-asset thumbnail to see the basic information of the mesh as follows:
| Area | Function | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Vertex Data | Vertex Info List | The format and stride of the vertex information |
| Sub-mesh | Sub-mesh List | Drawing information of the sub-mesh |
Texture Sub-assets
The only difference between the basic information of texture sub-assets and texture assets is that the texture information is mostly read-only.
Material Sub-assets
Similarly, material sub-assets work the same way:
In general, users do not need to perform any operations on the materials that come with the model; however, in certain scenarios, developers may want to manually tweak the materials, such as changing the color. In this case, we can duplicate the original material by clicking duplicate & remap, and then modify it based on the original material parameters:
Animation Sub-assets
Animation sub-assets appear in the model assets in the form of animation clips, and they are also read-only.
