[Opensim-dev] Game engines (Re: Opensim-dev Digest, Vol 53, Issue 5)

[Mister Blue]

I also wrote an OAR converter "Convoar" which converts OARs to GLTF scenes.
https://github.com/Misterblue/convoar .

The converter does a raw conversion (good for editing in Blender, etc) and
optimized conversions -- one which does material and mesh instancing and
texture size reduction and another which combines meshes that share
materials. The layout of the vertices, etc is optimized for most GPUs.

There are several converted OAR files available for web viewing at
https://misterblue.com/oars/ .
