gltfio: Provide new loader suitable for remeshing #7782

Open poweifeng opened 2 months ago

Context

The current division of work between AssetLoader and ResourceLoader does not fit well with algorithms that require remeshing (e.g. flat shading in #6358).

Proposal

Build a new API that will be useful in these use cases.
Keep AssetLoader and ResourceLoader for existing clients of the API.

Will this enable the proper normal generation in Android? https://github.com/google/filament/discussions/7851

Yes, that's one of the goals of having a new loader.

Cool so I guess for Android only change that needs to be done is in the resource & asset loader. I actually tried to make some changes and I still don't see the flat normal shading but the model appears all white. can you please take a quick look & suggest if i should make any other changes? This is one of the blocker for us currently
