/**
 * object-model
 *
 * Loader for THREE.js JSON format. Somewhat confusingly, there are two different THREE.js formats,
 * both having the .json extension. This loader supports only THREE.ObjectLoader, which typically
 * includes multiple meshes or an entire scene.
 *
 * Check the console for errors, if in doubt. You may need to use `json-model` or
 * `blend-character-model` for some .js and .json files.
 *
 * See: https://clara.io/learn/user-guide/data_exchange/threejs_export
