3D Model File Structure Guide

The document summarizes the file format for storing 3D scene graphs in glTF. It describes that there can be multiple model chunks for multiple models. The palette chunk is always included so default palettes are not needed. The MATT chunk is deprecated and replaced by the MATL material chunk. It then provides details on the data types and node chunks used to represent the scene graph, transforms, groups, shapes, materials and layers.

* there can be multiple SIZE and XYZI chunks for multiple models; model id is their

index in the stored order


* the palette chunk is always stored into the file, so default palette is not
needed any more
* the MATT chunk is deprecated, replaced by the MATL chunk, see (4)
* (a), (b), (c) are special data types; (d) is the scene graph in the world editor

=================================
(a) STRING type

int32 : buffer size (in bytes)


int8xN : buffer (without the ending "\0")

=================================
(b) DICT type

int32 : num of key-value pairs

// for each key-value pair


{
STRING : key
STRING : value
}xN

=================================
(c) ROTATION type

store a row-major rotation in the bits of a byte

for example :
R =
0 1 0
0 0 -1
-1 0 0
==>
unsigned char _r = (1 << 0) | (2 << 2) | (0 << 4) | (1 << 5) | (1 << 6)

bit | value
0-1 : 1 : index of the non-zero entry in the first row
2-3 : 2 : index of the non-zero entry in the second row
4 : 0 : the sign in the first row (0 : positive; 1 : negative)
5 : 1 : the sign in the second row (0 : positive; 1 : negative)
6 : 1 : the sign in the third row (0 : positive; 1 : negative)

=================================
(d) Scene Graph

T : Transform Node
G : Group Node
S : Shape Node

T
|
G
/ \
T T
| |
G S
/ \
T T
| |
S S

=================================
(1) Transform Node Chunk : "nTRN"

int32 : node id
DICT : node attributes
(_name : string)
(_hidden : 0/1)
int32 : child node id
int32 : reserved id (must be -1)
int32 : layer id
int32 : num of frames (must be 1)

// for each frame


{
DICT : frame attributes
(_r : int8) ROTATION, see (c)
(_t : int32x3) translation
}xN

=================================
(2) Group Node Chunk : "nGRP"

int32 : node id
DICT : node attributes
int32 : num of children nodes

// for each child


{
int32 : child node id
}xN

=================================
(3) Shape Node Chunk : "nSHP"

int32 : node id
DICT : node attributes
int32 : num of models (must be 1)

// for each model


{
int32 : model id
DICT : model attributes : reserved
}xN

=================================
(4) Material Chunk : "MATL"

int32 : material id
DICT : material properties
(_type : str) _diffuse, _metal, _glass, _emit
(_weight : float) range 0 ~ 1
(_rough : float)
(_spec : float)
(_ior : float)
(_att : float)
(_flux : float)
(_plastic)

=================================
(5) Layer Chunk : "LAYR"
int32 : layer id
DICT : layer atrribute
(_name : string)
(_hidden : 0/1)
int32 : reserved id, must be -1
