The code is here [https://github.com/jing-interactive/MeshViewer](https://github.com/jing-interactive/MeshViewer)  
Still in early stage, but it’s working.  
I should have it completed in this month (2018-Sept)

Very cool! It will be great to get the animation data working eventually too.

For anyone else getting three unresolved external symbols for tinyGltf::WriteImageData for png jpg and bmp.  
All you have to do is [add, TINYGLTF\_NO\_STB\_IMAGE\_WRITE to Preprocessor.Definition](https://github.com/jing-interactive/MeshViewer/issues/1#issuecomment-420487705).  
Thanks Jing! Great work and looking good!

tiny\_obj\_loader based OBJ loading is also added in this project, Cinder’s obj loader is sometimes too slow ☹

@vinjn I’ve also been working on a utility for rendering GLTF2 files parsed with tinygltf. It has support for rigid animations and up to 4 blend shapes per mesh.

I wasn’t intending to release it since the implementation is pretty specific for my use case, but the code is up in a Gist. Feel free to use it verbatim or as reference:

Looks promising, can you create a buildable project so that we can play with it?

The code base is now split to a reusable lib and a sample.
