[SOLVED] Import fbx is creating a template & render file as well as .glb?

[jerryComo]

This has only started happening this morning - and I’ve tested it with fbx files I was using last week that when imported, previously only created a .glb & material and texture files.

Has something changed on the PCanvas end ?

ok cheers,

Jerry

Hi @jerryComo and Welcome! I think this has to do with the Full Hierarchy feature that is released. If you want you can enable or disable this option in your project settings. The render files are also needed for the render component that replaces the model component.

Import full model hierarchy into PlayCanvas

The PlayCanvas team are very excited to fully release the Import Hierarchy pipeline feature in the PlayCanvas Editor! With this feature enabled, any imported FBX will create a Template asset which contains the full node hierarchy as entities representing sub-models of the model. This gives users greater flexibility in manipulating mesh instances in the model directly in the Editor.

Ha - thought I was going bonkers there for a second. I hope this new feature comes in handy soon - but for now I shall do the great disable.

Thanks for the speedy reply Albertos !
