Hello, If i want to check if a mesh has some metadata, I have to check first if it has metadata, then thing specific metadata... eg: if (evt.pickInfo.pickedMesh.metadata) { if (evt.pickInfo.pickedMesh.metadata.pointType === 'source') { console.log('mesh as metadata: source'); } } Can this be condensed into just one if line? Thank you,

Hi Guys, I created this post hoping to find people interested in helping on the development and documentations of the unity toolkit. The unity editor allows to put an scene together very easy and export it all ,(lights cameras, meshes etc) with out a line of code How this works? Well @MackeyK24 started developing in visual studio the exporter tool and he saw a way to transform the camera , light or mesh from unity to babylon metadata, then later he add support for animations, splat maps painting, particles system and PBR materials, all of these trough the C# and the unity exporter. Furthermore, I join him on the project 6 months ago and I'm no as good as he is as developer but he took the time to show me and recorded videos to show people how to use it and improve it. I was not easy to pick it up if you dont have a strong object oriented programming skills winch most java script developer lack of, but this is an excellent way to learn or improve your coding skills So if you want to joins us and have some spare time to learn, please feel free to contact me, I can try to put you guys up to speed so we can continue with this great tool for development

This request is more for the BabylonJS maintainers like David. I talked you guys into letting me add node.metadata which is WORKING GREAT... SO GREAT that i really need (and hope you can see the same value as well) of having the same serializable metadata at the scene level. So i am asking SOMEONE to please: @serialize() public metadata:any = null; to babylon.scene.ts so it can be used exactly like node.metedata. Right now if i want to store SCENE level metadata i gotta put a DUMMY mesh (or node) into the scene and search the all the scene.meshes to find some node.metadata that has been aliased to be used as scene level data. That kinda sucks (Note: I DONT MEAN BABYLONJS sucks in any way... remember... I luv you guys and the very concept of babylonjs ). Just not a clean way to store and retrieve any scene level metadata. Adding scene.metadata would give that same 'automatic de-serialization' of the built in babylon parsing framework. We will end up with a real javascript object scene.metadata JUST LIKE node.metadata Please REALLY think about it... I would luv to clean up some of my BabylonJS loader code and having to look thru the scene nodes to grab a dummy node with my scene level metadata, really bugs my OCD Thanks again for even thinking about it
