342138aecb gltfio: Update Java API. 2022-09-29 16:28:50 -07:00

8dc6fde588 gltfio API change: assets are now always 'instanced' etc
This change was motivated by some internal work at Google and has the
benefit of simplifying the gltfio API and implementation. There are 2
major API changes:

(1) Consolidate separate loader entry points for GLB and GLTF.

The distinction between GLB and GLTF can be made from the file content
alone, because GLB has a 4-byte magic string in its header. There is no
need for separate entry points.  Clients do not (and should not) need
to check the file name extension.

(2) Remove the distinction between "instanced" and "non-instanced"
glTF assets.

In the new scheme, all assets have at least 1 instance.

Broadly speaking, in gltfio an "asset" is a collection of Filament
objects like textures and vertex buffers, while an "instance" is a
collection of entities and components (e.g. the transform hierarchy).

This API change makes life easier for clients because they no longer
need to decide a priori if they will ever need to add instances.

This change also moves some public-facing methods from FilamentAsset to
FilamentInstance:

    - getSkinCount, getSkinNameAt
    - getJointCountAt, getJointsAt
    - attachSkin, detachSkin
