Hi,

Let us assume that we have two triangles connected to make a quad.

I use gltf-sdk to export the quad with 4 UV texture coordinates, one per vertex, as follows.

The upper triangle (T1) has all 3 UV coordinates as pink (3 dots at pink pixel in the example)

whereas the lower triangle (T2) has 1 new UV coordinate (1 dot at green) and two old pink UV coordinates from T1

So far so good.

In Blender3D, when I select the face of T2, I can change the UV coordinate of the shared upper vertex for T2,

the part of T2 at shared vertex become green without affecting T1.

When I export from Blender3D to gltf, this shared vertex that has different UV coordinate for T1 vs T2,
becomes duplicated:

From what I have understood, GLTF format does not allow a vertex to have two UV coordinates. See this stackoverflow: https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/140132/how-can-i-use-blender-style-uvs-and-not-per-vertex-in-opengl
whereas Blender allows it. Blender uses all features of OpenGL whereas GLTF is let us say a "gpu friendly" format (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61521259/vertex-normal-texture-uv-coordinate).

• Does gltf-sdk support vertex duplication when one vertex has two or more UV coordinates depending on how many faces it belongs?
• Is there any library that can be used within gltf-sdk to do the duplication seamingless ?
• Is ACCESSOR_TEXCOORD_1 something operational different from ACCESSOR_TEXCOORD_0, does it offer extra capabilities like vertex duplication like in this specific case ?

Best,
Dimitrios
