How To Use It

Here is a basic usage. First you create the loader itself

var loader  = new THREEx.UniversalLoader()

Then you trigger the loading of your model. Say you want to load a model at models/monster.dae

var url = 'models/monster.dae'
loader.load(url, function(object3d){
    // this function will be notified when the model is loaded
    scene.add(object3d)
})

There is a special case for the OBJ/MTL models as they need 2 urls, one for the OBJ, one for the MTL. In this case, just provides both urls in a array like this.

var urls = ['models/monster.obj', 'models/monster.mtl']
loader.load(url, function(object3d){
    // this function will be notified when the model is loaded
    scene.add(object3d)
})
