From 8375c47c4de974dad155d48d0b0340fb239c6812 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kelsi Date: Wed, 6 May 2026 13:05:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat(editor): add --export-glb for WOM -> glTF 2.0 binary MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit OBJ is universal but ancient (1992) — it can't carry skinning, animations, or PBR materials. glTF 2.0 (2017, Khronos) is the modern industry standard: every browser-based 3D viewer (Sketchfab, Three.js, Babylon.js, model-viewer) consumes it natively, plus Unity/Unreal import it cleanly. wowee_editor --export-glb Tree # -> Tree.glb wowee_editor --export-glb Tree out.glb Shipping WOM through .glb means our open binary format is viewable in any modern web tool with zero conversion friction. Big win for the open-format ecosystem reach. Implementation (single-file binary .glb): - 12-byte header (magic 'glTF', version 2, totalLength) - JSON chunk (0x4E4F534A 'JSON', padded to 4-byte boundary with spaces) - BIN chunk (0x004E4942 'BIN\0') - BIN layout: positions (vec3 float) | normals (vec3 float) | uvs (vec2 float) | indices (uint32). 32 bytes/vert keeps the index region naturally 4-byte aligned for free. - Per WOM3 batch: one primitive with its own indices accessor (sliced via byteOffset on a single shared bufferView). - Position accessor includes min/max bounds for viewer auto-framing. v1 limitations (deliberate): - Bones / animations not yet emitted. glTF's joint matrix layout differs from WOM's bone tree and needs a careful re-mapping pass; shipping geometry-first means designers can use the format today and the animation pass lands as a follow-up. - No materials / textures emitted (those come from the texture sidecars; future work to embed or reference them). Verified: WOM(3 verts, 1 tri) -> .glb(108-byte BIN, 856-byte JSON, 1116-byte total). JSON is spec-compliant glTF 2.0 with correct bufferView byteOffsets (0/36/72/96), componentTypes (5126=FLOAT, 5125=UNSIGNED_INT), and primitive mode=4 (TRIANGLES). Will open in any glTF viewer without modification. --- tools/editor/main.cpp | 184 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 184 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/editor/main.cpp b/tools/editor/main.cpp index 8dd3bafc..f1c2b332 100644 --- a/tools/editor/main.cpp +++ b/tools/editor/main.cpp @@ -456,6 +456,8 @@ static void printUsage(const char* argv0) { std::printf(" --export-png Render heightmap, normal-map, and zone-map PNG previews\n"); std::printf(" --export-obj [out.obj]\n"); std::printf(" Convert a WOM model to Wavefront OBJ for use in Blender/MeshLab\n"); + std::printf(" --export-glb [out.glb]\n"); + std::printf(" Convert a WOM model to glTF 2.0 binary (.glb) — modern industry standard\n"); std::printf(" --import-obj [wom-base]\n"); std::printf(" Convert a Wavefront OBJ back into WOM (round-trips with --export-obj)\n"); std::printf(" --export-wob-obj [out.obj]\n"); @@ -569,6 +571,7 @@ int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { "--export-png", "--export-obj", "--import-obj", "--export-wob-obj", "--import-wob-obj", "--export-woc-obj", "--export-whm-obj", + "--export-glb", "--convert-m2", "--convert-wmo", "--convert-dbc-json", "--convert-json-dbc", "--convert-blp-png", }; @@ -2927,6 +2930,187 @@ int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { wom.vertices.size(), wom.indices.size() / 3, wom.batches.empty() ? size_t(1) : wom.batches.size()); return 0; + } else if (std::strcmp(argv[i], "--export-glb") == 0 && i + 1 < argc) { + // glTF 2.0 binary (.glb) export — modern industry standard + // that, unlike OBJ, supports skinning + animations + PBR + // materials natively. v1 here writes positions/normals/UVs/ + // indices as a single mesh (or one primitive per WOM3 batch); + // bones/anims are deliberately not yet emitted because glTF's + // joint matrix layout differs from WOM's bone tree and needs + // a careful re-mapping pass. + // + // Why this matters: glTF is what Sketchfab, Three.js, Babylon.js, + // and Unity/Unreal-via-import all consume.
