Import without animation

[mchauth]

Hi this is a dumb question. I am trying to use gltfasset.cs to bring in my models without the animation clips. The other day I was messing with the package settings in the editor but I had to reinstall it and now I don't see those settings (which had filters of what to import, meshes, light, camera, etc.)

Is there a simple way to do this?

use ImportSettings class and set animationMethod = ImportSettings.AnimationMethod.None;

Thank you!

use ImportSettings class and set animationMethod = ImportSettings.AnimationMethod.None;

I am getting animationMethod does not exist in this context.

Currently you cannot disable animation import from the GltfAsset's inspector.

However, you can load it manually from code like so:

async void Start() {
        var gltf = new GltfImport();

        // Create a settings object and configure it accordingly
        var settings = new ImportSettings {
            animationMethod = ImportSettings.AnimationMethod.None
        };
    
        // Load the glTF and pass along the settings
        var success = await gltf.Load(uri, settings);

        if (success) {
            gltf.InstantiateMainScene(new GameObject("glTF").transform);
        }
        else {
            Debug.LogError("Loading glTF failed!");
        }
    }

I'm considering exposing those in the inspector though. Watch out for the next release.

Hey man I hate to bother you, do you know how I can instantiate the model to be the child of the gameObject calling the script? instead of going to the top of the hierarchy.

@mchauth Are you using the GltfAsset component? The upcoming 5.x version will have a setting for creating a root object representing the scene (options never, always, when single root node). If you cannot wait, custom instantiation code allows you to create a GameObject of your own.

I was using gltfasset which worked for going to the root, but I couldn’t pass animation settings through.

I was able to disable animation via the method you provided but can’t figure out how to catch and SetParent the InstantiateMainScene(new GameObject(“gLTF”).transform); without creating a script just for assigning children. Just hoping there’s a simpler way from the import script haha

Have you tried passing the current transform instead of creating a new GameObject?:

InstantiateMainScene(transform);

Perfect, that’s The solution I was looking for. Thanks!
