does it support gltf export? #4

i installed this addon thinking it could make color ramp compatible with gltf export but apparently it still doesn't work.

The addon utilizes Blender's native nodes, including the Color Ramp, and is unrelated to the export process.

Unfortunately, as far as I know, there's no straightforward way to directly export procedural nodes like the Color Ramp to glTF without first converting them into a texture. https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/addons/import_export/scene_gltf2.html

To make the Color Ramp compatible with glTF exports, you'll typically need to follow the standard process of UV mapping and baking the procedural textures into image files.

A potential future solution might involve MaterialX as part of the USD exporter: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/125781
