Evaluate recently added glTF extensions concerning compatibility/overlap

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Just recently, some interesting extensions have been added to glTF:

It should be examined to what extent these extensions are compatible/overlapping with OpenMATERIAL.

Update:

  • KHR_materials_ior builds on scalar, wavelenght-independent IOR
  • KHR_materials_volume builds on extensions modeling light transmission (e.g. KHR_materials_transmission, implementing a transmission factor [0,...,1] or a corresponding texture)
  • KHR_materials_specular builds on a specular factor [0,...,1]

Currently, there's no overlap with OpenMATERIAL material parameters. On the other hand, compatibility with the proposals in OpenMATERIAL is not compromised by the presented extensions.
