Deallocating Object3D

Question

I load a model from an obj file using in addition the mtl file. How do I properly dispose off or deallocate all the geometry/materials/textures from the returned Object3D in r55

Answer 1

Thanks to mrdoob's example, I created a function that recursively dispose a three.js object. I added it to my personal three.js util library: https://github.com/MarcoSulla/my3

function dispose3(obj) {
    /**
     *  @author Marco Sulla (marcosullaroma@gmail.com)
     *  @date Mar 12, 2016
     */

    "use strict";

    var children = obj.children;
    var child;

    if (children) {
        for (var i=0; i

My hope is this function will be added in three.js code, in Scene.remove method (maybe called only if you set an optional flag).
