Editor: import images as planes

Related issue: #XXXX

Description

As the title says.

@mrdoob I'm not sure if this feature is appropriate for a scene editor. What do you think?

[linbingquan]

Um, what if the user imports a normal map?

I feel this problem is a bit like blender's one-click batch Add texture function.

Noteside: I was use examples\textures\ambientcg\*.jpg of images to test it

It seems there are merge conflicts now.

Done.

It seems the menu point is still missing (see #28342 (comment)). Or maybe it was lost when fixing the merge conflicts?

Honestly, I am not write this part of the code, because now click the import button directly into the file selector, I do not know how to add this part of the code is more appropriate.

If we add a submenu directly to the import button, the user experience should be bad, such as adding a submenu, the new user should be unaware that the import button can be clicked.

Do we make Import Images as Plane to be the same level as the import button

[Mugen87]

I see. Let's just use File > Import. I now recognize the editor does not have separate Import entries for file formats like in Blender so we don't need a separate entry for images.

[Mugen87]

If you drag a glTF with its bin file and textures into the editor, this happens:

Files for testing: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/tree/dev/examples/models/gltf/DamagedHelmet/glTF

Meaning the editor loads all model textures as image planes which is of course not intended.

It seems loading "image as plane" can only work via the menu and not via drag'n'drop.

[linbingquan]

@Mugen87 I added a new function button entry File -> Import Images as Planes.

[Mugen87]

After some more testing I'm not sure its worth adding the feature. I doubt it's super helpful for a scene editor...

In any event, I'll defer to @mrdoob .

Fix was applied.

Sorry, I don't think we should be doing this.
