Interop Support via OMI specs
-Requester: Morph
-Category: Technical
-Introduction: We have recently had a prop for Seat/Vehicle support via OMI standards ([DAO:c7d1bf9] Should DCL work with and adopt OMI standards for Vehicles & Seats?), this would not only enable these features for DCL, but would enable interop with all development so that seat/vehicle designs could be standardized for interoperability so that other metaverse engines can implement the majority of DCL backend in their client directly if they adhere to VRM/OMI standards.
-General questions
- Is there any plan for a standardized extendable model system (especially in regards to GLTF extensions) such as the ones defined by OMI?
-Specific questions:
- Does DCL plan to work with others on defining the standardization of these formats? We have an open invite to participate with OMI who is also connecting and enabling with other large metaverse builders such as Microsoft/Meta.
- Will GLTF remain the standard for extended models moving forward?
- Is there any plan to bring extensions to the avatar .GLBs (such as shape keys for eye/mouth movement, or weight bones for jiggle physics).
