Can you describe the process of setting up and using Asset Containers in Babylon.js? How do they benefit scene management and development?
Asset Containers in Babylon.js streamline scene management and development by allowing developers to load, manipulate, and instantiate assets independently from the main scene. They improve performance and organization.
To set up and use Asset Containers :
1. Import Babylon.js library.
2. Create a new instance of an AssetContainer: const container = new BABYLON.AssetContainer(scene);
3. Load assets using methods like container.instantiateModelsToScene() or BABYLON.SceneLoader.LoadAssetContainer().
4. Manipulate assets within the container without affecting the main scene.
5. Add assets to the main scene when needed using container.addAllToScene() or selectively with asset.setParent(scene.rootNodes[0]);.
Benefits :
* Isolate asset loading and manipulation, preventing unwanted side effects on the main scene.
* Optimize performance by only adding necessary assets to the scene.
* Facilitate reusability and modularity of assets across multiple scenes.
