Ambient FBX native support

We had a lot of trouble getting assimp to work with FBX.

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/sensei-4-cc86a15388ab403baff5c7a4b4d3eefc this was one of the tricky test models. I can spend some time throwing my 3d asset library at ambient. If you can link me to windows 11 binaries and a script that I can point to a folder recursively.

We decided to go with an external executable approach which won't work for an engine that transfers WASM from the server to the client on client join.

Let me know if you want more FBX test models etc.

Hi, that would be great! We do have a native FBX implementation too (https://github.com/AmbientRun/Ambient/tree/main/crates/model_import/src/fbx) so would be great to battle test it a bit.

You can download the latest windows binary here: https://github.com/AmbientRun/Ambient/releases You can see an example of asset loading here: https://github.com/AmbientRun/Ambient/tree/main/guest/rust/examples/asset_loading The main thing is the assets/pipeline.json which describes how to import an asset. You can find the docs for that here: https://ambientrun.github.io/Ambient/reference/asset_pipeline.html

I'm not able to help as much as I wanted due to recent circumstance.

Here are a list of fbx test samples. https://github.com/assimp/assimp-mdb/tree/master/model-db/fbx
