aframevr / assets Goto Github PK

In each folder, we can have a LICENSE file that lists the license for each asset.

During the WebVR spec face to face meeting we discussed about a way for developers to easily find models for the different controllers in the market, hands and other kinds of basic virtual tools. We debated whether it should be a new platform API or just an official CDN that contains all the models. A-Frame hosts the assets in the gh-pages of this repo (https://github.com/aframevr/assets/tree/gh-pages/controllers). In order for any library to benefit from those we could:

1. Move the models to a separate repo that it's not a-frame specific.
2. Define conventions for file names, model part names, format, license...
3. Decide where they should be hosted (gh-pages might fall short) and the url / domain schema to handle versioning.

What do you think? @feiss @fernandojsg @toji @ngokevin @TechnoBuddhist @machenmusik

Replace https://github.com/aframevr/assets/blob/gh-pages/mozilla/img/logo-mozilla-white.svg with https://github.com/aframevr/aframe-site/blob/master/src/images/mozilla-logo.svg

Thanks to aframevr/aframe#5333 now in 1.5.0 it's possible to define the CDN that can thus be local, thus follow aframevr/aframe#5119 .

It's possible to clone this repository and point to the hosted version but this repository is huge (>500Mo). Briefly skimmed through it seems most of it (e.g .git itself, .blend model source, etc) aren't actually needed.

Few paths to consider, from easiest to more demanding

1. updating README.md with required directories, e.g ./fonts and ./controllers I imagine, clarifying which files can removed to trim down to lowest size
2. provide a "build" with the minimum, e.g a .zip generated from a script like tar -cvf minglb.tar fonts/ $( find controllers/ -type f -name "*.glb" )
3. changing the structure to have a dedicated directory with only necessary content, e.g ./required/ with ./required/fonts and ./required/controllers and keeping there only used files, e.g .glb but not .blend
4. splitting in 2 repositories

And set master as the GitHub Pages Source from https://github.com/aframevr/assets/settings#options_bucket

Could use an optimized, simplified set of controller models. Right now some quite heavy.
