Plan to generate MSFT_lod

[arpu]

Hey,

do you have any Plans to implement MSFT_lod? looks like Three gltf Loader will get this with
https://github.com/takahirox/three-gltf-extensions/blob/main/loaders/MSFT_lod/MSFT_lod.js

No current plans. I'm focusing on core algorithms for the moment - this would generally be within gltfpack's scope (and could dovetail with the existing simplification support), but it would be nice to see a bit more official support for LODs - for example:

• A more official extension (not MSFT-prefixed), potentially in a slightly different form so that duplicating nodes isn't critical
• Native support in Three.js/Babylon.js (the link you provided is an extension to three.js)

Still, I could eventually implement support for MSFT_lod if by the time I am done with all of the core simplification algorithms and feel like they are fully complete MSFT_lod is still the status quo. Or I could help define a cross-vendor extension - time will tell. So this is a good idea, just not on my radar in the immediate future.

There is some new KhronosGroup/glTF#2228
