GLTF VALIDATION ABORTED: Too many messages produced

I'm currently learning GLTF and Blender basics. I'm exporting my file proper way, checked out also on GLTF Validator if my file is valid, and it says yes. Checked out on Babylon and it's working fine.

But in VSCode it gives me an error, which is saying that: VALIDATION ABORTED: Too many messages produced

I cannot compile with that error, so I would be glad if I could get any help.

Here's raw link to file: Click

Here's error with "working" preview on VSCode Extension for GLTF: enter image description here

Error is in line one saying what I previously declared.

Solution

  • There's a setting for glTF validation max issues. The default value is a bit low (200) for performance reasons, but on a good machine can be much higher.

    settings screenshot with max issues 1000

    This is stored in settings.json as "glTF.Validation.maxIssues".

    Hitting the max issues limit is considered (by the glTF Validator) to be an "error" regardless of whether the issues produced were errors, warnings, or just hints. It likely means the glTF file has a large number of issues that could be addressed. The "Problems" window in VSCode should show a list of these.

    In the case of this Ramen Shop, I see a lot of "Vector3 at XXX... is not of unit length" kind of messages. This may indicate degenerate triangles, or normal / tangent vectors that need to be recomputed.

    The validator is also complaining that the tangents and texture coordinates are all unused, since there are no textures included with the model. These are not "errors" though, and are safe to ignore.
