Save Your Scene or Meshes

Any scene or mesh can be downloaded as a file to you computer. This is achieved with the scene serializer

Scene

Include the following code in your project to download your scene

var objectUrl;
function doDownload(filename, scene) {
  if (objectUrl) {
    window.URL.revokeObjectURL(objectUrl);
  }


  var serializedScene = BABYLON.SceneSerializer.Serialize(scene);


  var strScene = JSON.stringify(serializedScene);


  if (filename.toLowerCase().lastIndexOf(".babylon") !== filename.length - 8 || filename.length < 9) {
    filename += ".babylon";
  }


  var blob = new Blob([strScene], { type: "octet/stream" });


  // turn blob into an object URL; saved as a member, so can be cleaned out later
  objectUrl = (window.webkitURL || window.URL).createObjectURL(blob);


  var link = window.document.createElement("a");
  link.href = objectUrl;
  link.download = filename;
  var click = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
  click.initEvent("click", true, false);
  link.dispatchEvent(click);
}

The following playground is an example of creating a scene, using the serializer, converting it to a JSON file and then giving the option of downloading it to your computer.

Meshes

The following code shows the changes necessary to just download a mesh to your computer.

var objectUrl;
function doDownload(filename, mesh) {
  if (objectUrl) {
    window.URL.revokeObjectURL(objectUrl);
  }


  var serializedMesh = BABYLON.SceneSerializer.SerializeMesh(mesh);


  var strMesh = JSON.stringify(serializedMesh);


  if (filename.toLowerCase().lastIndexOf(".babylon") !== filename.length - 8 || filename.length < 9) {
    filename += ".babylon";
  }


  var blob = new Blob([strMesh], { type: "octet/stream" });


  // turn blob into an object URL; saved as a member, so can be cleaned out later
  objectUrl = (window.webkitURL || window.URL).createObjectURL(blob);


  var link = window.document.createElement("a");
  link.href = objectUrl;
  link.download = filename;
  var click = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
  click.initEvent("click", true, false);
  link.dispatchEvent(click);
}
