General questions about glTF as a format vying for industry adoption

[erlend-sh]

I've noticed that glTF doesn't yet have its own discussion directory on the Khronos forum like Collada does.

I have a couple general questions that don't really belong in an issue tracker. Is there a more appropriate place to ask non-development questions, or should I just post them here for the time being?

@erlend-sh feel free to post them in this issue.

Alrighty then. First couple of questions incoming.

Vulkan was released alongside an impressive roster of Working Group Participants, such as Unity3D, Epic, Blizzard, EA, Intel, Nvidia etc., so:

• Is there a list of partners / working group participants?
• Is Khronos actively reaching out to key collaborators?
  • Blender & the other major 3D modeling suites?
  • Unity3D, Epic et.al?
  • Companies like Sketchfab

On that note, I put up a request for glTF support on Unity3D's feedback page:

Is there a list of partners / working group participants?

The quotes in the press release give a pretty representative picture of the initial supporters: https://www.khronos.org/news/press/khronos-finalizes-gltf-1.0-specification

We also update this repo's README.md as we become aware of new adoptions.

Is Khronos actively reaching out to key collaborators?

Yes. We are also engaging the open-source community, e.g., #456 and providing mentorship for projects like https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/gltf-pipeline

If you have contacts at specific organizations, we would also welcome an introduction. Email me at [email protected]

@erlend-sh are you asking about Vulkan?
