Add support of embedded images and buffers when writing

The support of embedded images and buffers as base64 at write time is missing. Working around this is very tricky.
Doesn't embedding resources the most common method of generating gltfs?

Hi @loic-jourdan - If you just want to embed everything in a single file then GLB would be a good option that glTF-SDK supports.

I would not recommend writing out base64 encoded glTF as it's both slower and somewhat space-inefficient. If you really want to do it anyway, in theory it should be possible to construct these kind of files with glTF-SDK, if you use another library to do the encoding to base64.

This makes perfect sense, thank you for precision.
