VGO

VGO is a new type of 3D data format.

Features

• You can save basic information of 3D model such as Node, Transform, Rigidbody, Collider, Mesh, Blend Shape, Material, Texture.
• You can also save the information of Human Avatar, Spring Bone, Animation, Cloth, Light, Particle System, Skybox for use in Unity.
• You can also save the information of Blend Shape Preset for use in the application.
• The file format uses IFF chunk as the base.
• Use JSON, BSON, Binary as internal data.
• The geometry coordinate system can have both right-handed and left-handed data.
• It is a specification that allows its own definition extension (chunk, schema).
• It is designed to support partial encryption.
• Resources are basically included in a file, but they can be cut out in another file.
• Resources can compress data with sparse, and have their own definition of the more powerful sparse.
• There is no direct compatibility with glTF.
• It is possible to convert to other formats including glTF by expanding the data in Unity Editor.

Experiments

• Supports WebP format in addition to normal PNG, JPEG for image type (media type / MIME type) in textures.

    using UnityEngine;
    using UniVgo2;

    public class VgoRuntimeLoader : MonoBehaviour
    {
        [SerializeField]
        private string _FilePath = string.Empty;

        private readonly VgoImporter _VgoImporter = new();

        private VgoModelAsset? _VgoModelAsset;

        private void Start()
        {
            _VgoModelAsset = _VgoImporter.Load(_FilePath);
        }

        private void OnDestroy()
        {
            _VgoModelAsset?.Dispose();
        }
