About this project
What does Athena add?
Athena is a versatile, cross-platform baked model loader that features built-in support for connected textures.
It employs unique baked models for each type to ensure optimal performance and compatibility across platforms.
Athena's connected texture method (CTM) is designed specifically for these models to minimize unnecessary calculations and resolve common issues.
Additionally, Athena allows for custom checks, such as special vertical culling for glass panes, to further enhance its functionality.
