From what I understand of your idea, it would aim to provide a totally different
pipeline than POV@Ble, and it would actually not consist of a POV@Ble
modification, but rather an addition to the e.g. gltf exporter. I can help you
reach out to the relevant dev if you want to make him such a proposition, but it
should be really refined as he's like one of the 5 most busy Blender devs.
