Segfault on opening gltf without textures

[spevnev]

Describe the bug
gltf files contain list of images/textures and when it is opened without these images in the path f3d segfaults.
It probably happens with other file formats, but I haven't tested them.
Here's the stack trace:

0   libvtkIOGeometry-9.3.9.3.dylib vtkGLTFDocumentLoader::LoadImageData() + 688
1   libvtkIOGeometry-9.3.9.3.dylib vtkGLTFDocumentLoader::LoadModelData(std::vector<char> const&) + 512
2   libvtkIOImport-9.3.9.3.dylib   vtkGLTFImporter::ImportBegin() + 588
3   libvtkIOImport-9.3.9.3.dylib   vtkImporter::Read() + 140
4   libf3d.2.4.dylib               vtkImporter::Update() + 4 (vtkImporter.h:80) [inlined]
5   libf3d.2.4.dylib               f3d::detail::loader_impl::loadScene(std::string const&) + 1008 (loader_impl.cxx:318)
6   f3d                            F3DStarter::LoadFile(int, bool) + 3300 (F3DStarter.cxx:810)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Rename/move/delete textures required by gltf in order so that the path specified in the file no longer exists
2. Open the file using f3d example.gltf

Expected behavior
Either generic error message like "Error opening gltf file" or better yet "Error loading texture TEXTURE_PATH required by GLTF_PATH: file doesn't exist"

System Information:

• OS: macOS 14.5
• GPU and GPU driver: M1

F3D Information
Paste the content of f3d --version:

F3D 2.4.0

F3D - A fast and minimalist 3D viewer
Version: 2.4.0-77-gd8960d10.
Build date: 2024-06-21 19:35:51.
Build system: Darwin 64-bits.
Compiler: AppleClang 15.0.0.15000309.
External rendering module: OFF.
Raytracing module: OFF.
VTK version: 9.3.0.

Additional context
It happens in libvtk which (if I understand correctly) is a dependency, so to fix we need to read these texture paths (are they already read/available somewhere?) from the gltf file and check that they exist before calling libvtk functions.

Could you share example.gltf ?

[spevnev]

It isn't any specific file. For instance, take gearbox_animation from f3d-data. In its gltf file you can see

  "images": [
    {
      "uri": "textures/Material_26_metallicRoughness.png"
    },
    {
      "uri": "textures/Material_26_normal.png"
    },
    {
      "uri": "textures/Material_26_baseColor.png"
    },
    ...
  ]

And if you remove any of these, or the entire folder, i.e. make uri no longer as files do not exist, it causes segfault. It probably doesn't check files before loading them.

I've attachied zips of 2 examples (couldn't upload as single file due to 25MB upload limit):
originals: for reference (both are taken from f3d-data)
original_gearbox.zip
original_bristleback.zip
file_missing: deleted one texture file -> segfault
file_missing_gearbox.zip
file_missing_bristleback.zip
folder_missing: deleted all textures -> segfault
folder_missing_gearbox.zip
folder_missing_bristleback.zip

[mwestphal]

Complete fix will require to work on the importer API: #653

[mwestphal]

Fixed in VTK thanks for https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/merge_requests/11267

Need a bit more work to integrate in F3D
