Importing model into three.js - performance

Question

Is there a good/recommended approach regarding performance to load a 3D model from file to be used in a three.js JavaScript application (especially where the model is genera

Answer 1

With the current Blender Three.js exporter (as of writing this I am referring to the r71 dev version) there are a few things you can do:

• dial down the precision values, the short the float value precision the smaller the file
• uncheck Indent, this is huge on animation files as it removes white spaces and \n characters
• experiment with using msgpack compression (requires the mspack package be installed) msgpack loading example

at some point, tho, the JSON format may not be the most ideal and maybe other formats will work better for you. As previous posts stated; model optimization goes a long ways too.
