Loading GDTF files

Hello Millumin team,

Thanks for adding GDTF support — it’s a great addition!

I downloaded the full library from GDTF Share and added it to Millumin 5.15.k : approximately 10,000 profiles, totalling around 12 GB.

When I add a light layer, Millumin appears to freeze for quite a while. If I wait long enough, it becomes responsive again and I can use the library.

Is there a way to improve this loading time, or would you recommend keeping only the fixtures I need in Millumin’s library? Would removing any bundled 3D assets help, or is the number of profiles the main factor?

Thanks for your help!

    Hello @Jonathan,

    This is not a bug at all : loading 10 000 fixtures / 12 GB of files just takes a lot of time. We simply did not cover this use case as this is not relevant for following reasons :

    • first of all, you have a nice interface built-in Millumin to find and download the fixture you want (without creating any account on gdtf-share.com)
    • secondly, if you downloaded 10 000 fixtures, you downloaded manufacturer fixtures, as well as users+developement fixtures which are very probably useless for you


    If users are requesting to load hundreds and hundres of fixtures at the same time, we will see how to optimize once more loading times. But for now, we are focused on other features. I hope you would understand our position.

    Best. Philippe
