Additional tip:
Once a model is uploaded to Ignition Fuel, it can be included in the SDF file by <uri>https://...</uri>
. The address is on the object page in the bibtex block where it says url={...}
.
Tutorial for uploading models to Fuel https://ignitionrobotics.org/api/gazebo/6.5/meshtofuel.html Models should be in a directory following the structure detailed in the tutorial.
I think we need to merge a PR replacing all the existing local references to models with the Fuel URLs before this can be closed :)
Once we have the new object models integrated into the project for the next release - i.e., we have added the files and reviewed PRs such as #194 - then it would be good to upload these to the DAVE collection on ignition fuel.

YI a bit more info
You can upload newer versions of the same model, if you want to modify a previous upload.
There are some requirements for the models, so that they will work in Gazebo. There's very limited documentation here https://openrobotics.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/43000011289-contributing-a-new-model
We package the models with top-level model.sdf and model.config files, put the meshes and textures in subfolders, etc. I don't know if it's Ryan or Duane on your end who handles that.
Let me know if any questions arise. We can probably improve our documentation if this turns out to be a pain. Thanks! Mabel
After creating an account on app.ignitionrobotics.org (anyone can create an account), click the + button on the upper-right to upload a model or a world.
Per Cole, after uploading the model, on the model page, click this button (two overlapped squares of images) to add to a collection:
IgnitionFuel_uploadToCollection1.png
Then you can enter the name of a collection to look for it:
IgnitionFuel_uploadToCollection2.png
Hope that helps! Mabel

Is there a way for Ryan to upload models to the DAVE collection at fuel - https://app.ignitionrobotics.org/Cole/fuel/collections/DAVE
It would be really cool to have that collection be fairly complete.
All the best, Brian
