Any plans to support runtime import

[tonetechnician]

Hi there!

Thanks for making this plugin available! I was just wondering if there are any thoughts to make this plugin support runtime import?

Yes, I have plans to support import in runtime.

If you want to import the glTF in runtime, you can try this plugin - glTFRuntime.

Amazing! Thanks for the fast response. That's really good to know! Is there a timeline on when it might be ready? Anything I could do to help speed it alog?

I've been using glTFRuntime, but it doesn't have great performance (i.e assets take long to load) and no support for draco compressed meshes.

In my plan, it will be supported in v4.0. Now I don't have time to do the "load-in-runtime", so the task isn't created in the milestone list and I can't make any promise.

You can submit issues about performance and draco in glTFRuntime.

• About the performance of glTFRuntime, you can see Performance considerations rdeioris/glTFRuntime#3, rdeioris said Finally, regarding performance, there are still optimization areas, but yes, the main time is spent in the various optimizations/checks made by unreal. For staticmeshes we can cut down time a bit with the ProceduralMeshComponent at the cost of higher rendering time. maybe this could be another option to add. So I don't think my plugin's performance will be better than the glTFRuntime if I support the "load-in-runtime".
