+No longer supported as an official Mach project. The code has moved to [github.com/slimsag/mach-model3d](https://github.com/slimsag/mach-model3d) and may not be maintained to the same standard as official Mach projects.
-Compact, featureful model format & alternative to glTF.
+**Additional details:** https://github.com/hexops/mach/issues/969
-[Model3D](https://gitlab.com/bztsrc/model3d/) is an up-and-coming compact, featureful, universal model format that tries to address the shortcomings of existing formats (yes, including glTF - see [their rationale](https://gitlab.com/bztsrc/model3d/#rationale).)

-## Experimental
-
-This is an **experimental** project according to [our stability guarantees](../../about/stability):
-
-> When a project has an experimental warning, it means all bets are off. You should carefully read the warning to understand why the project is experimental, and assume the worst.

-**Tracking issue:** https://github.com/hexops/mach/issues/969
-
-## Getting started
-
-Create a `build.zig.zon` in your project (replace `LATEST_COMMIT` with the latest commit hash):
-
-```zig
-.{
- .name = "mypkg",
- .version = "0.1.0",
- .dependencies = .{
- .mach_model3d = .{
- .url = "https://pkg.machengine.org/mach-model3d/LATEST_COMMIT.tar.gz",
- },
- },
-}
-```
-
-Run `zig build` in your project, and the compiler will instruct you to add a `.hash = "..."` field next to `.url`:
-
-```
-note: expected .hash = "12209838fcfb7a77d2d6931efdc7448c033a1b7dad11d082c94bbeeba9d1038cd311",
-```
-
-Then use the dependency in your `build.zig`:
-
-```zig
-pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
- ...
- exe.root_module.addImport("mach-model3d", b.dependency("mach_model3d", .{
- .target = target,
- .optimize = optimize,
- }).module("mach-model3d"));
-}
-```
-
-You can now use it in your `src/main.zig` file:
-
-```zig
-const model3d = @import("mach-model3d");
-```
-
-For usage examples, you can look at the mach-core [pbr-basic example](https://github.com/hexops/mach-core/blob/main/examples/pbr-basic/main.zig) - note that a `vertex_writer.zig` helper is needed due to the way model3d stores data.
-
-### Ran into trouble?
-
-Triple-check you followed the `build.zig.zon` instructions correctly, it's easy to mess that part up.
