instant3Dhub asset format gets standardized: Khronos presents glTF 1.0
20.10.2015 Uncategorized

The Khronos Group, an open consortium of leading hardware and software 
companies, just announced that the glTFT 1.0 (GL Transmission Format ) 
royalty-free specification for transmission and loading of 3D content 
has been finalized for Ratification and is immediately available for 
use by tools and application vendors.



With SRC, Fraunhofer IGD already provides support for a modified 
subset of an earlier version of glTFT. The proposed extensions 
KHR_binary_glTF and WEB3D_quantized_attributes have been actively 
developed by a team of experts, including the instant3Dhub team. This 
development will be bridging the gap between Khronos' and the Web3D 
consortium's standards, and it will help to ensure that instant3Dhub 
keeps using well-specified, standard technology. This makes 
instant3Dhub even safer for long-term use and helps us to ensure 
backwards compatibility.

See the official Khronos press release here. The GitHub project can be 
found here.
