Is there any way to provide 3D models at runtime instead of compile time?
Current workflow is to run the sceneform plugin to convert .fbx/.gltf to .sfa/.sfb etc; this adds a block to build.gradle and the .sfb is updated on every build in case the .sfa changed. Works great but models are baked-in at compile time.
Would be very useful to do the same offline conversion to .sfa/.sfb but provide the converted model via e.g. firebase instead of baking it in at compile time; obvious use case would be allowing an app installed weeks or months ago to pick up new models immediately (since it isn't feasible to expect a deployed app to be updated in a timely manner). So as character designs evolved simply restarting the app would update to latest "look."
