This PR includes a few changes I made while working on my upcoming GLTF audio PR, but without any audio stuff.

  • Fully document GLTFBufferView.
  • Partially document GLTFAccessor.
  • Improve some documentation in GLTFDocumentExtension.
  • Add a method to GLTFState to append a PackedByteArray to the buffers / bufferViews, with optional deduplication.
  • Add a method to GLTFBufferView to read the data from this bufferView as a PackedByteArray.
  • Allow the node JSON to be empty when calling import_node on extensions. This is required to handle the case of Godot scene -> in-memory GLTF data -> Godot scene, so like a half-export then half-import.
  • Allow the scene node to be null when calling export_node on extensions. This is required to handle the case of GLTF file -> in-memory GLTF data -> GLTF file, so like a half-import then half-export. This is an actual use case I have that needs to be supported, and anyway, this is good for code cleanliness to ensure the steps are fully separated.

Can you write an example how to use handle the case of GLTF file -> in-memory GLTF data -> GLTF file, so like a half-import then half-export.

I think I know what you mean, but what do you mean? It would help the general godot developer if we were able to put a sample here.

Otherwise I didn't see any obvious problems, but need a testplan -- like project examples of the use cases you mentioned.

@fire Here is an example use case from The Mirror, packing a GLTF into a GLB:

## Converts a GLTF document (including all its external dependencies) to a GLB byte array.
## GLTF files can have dependencies on other files. This would make distribution very complex.
## In order to resolve this, we can convert the GLTF to GLB data at runtime to pack it into one file.
static func convert_gltf_files_to_glb_data(path: String) -> PackedByteArray:
	var state: GLTFState = GLTFState.new()
	var doc: GLTFDocument = GLTFDocument.new()
	var err = doc.append_from_file(path, state)
	if err:
		push_error(str(err))
		return PackedByteArray()
	return doc.generate_buffer(state)
