Loader3D can load any file format that Away3D supports (or for which a third-party parser has been plugged in) and be added directly to the scene. As assets are encountered they are added to the Loader3D container. Assets that can not be displayed in the scene graph (e.g. unused bitmaps/materials, skeletons et c) will be ignored. This provides a fast and easy way to load models (no need for event listeners) but is not very versatile since many types of assets are ignored. Loader3D by default uses the AssetLibrary to load all assets, which means that they also ends up in the library. To circumvent this, Loader3D can be configured to not use the AssetLibrary in which case it will use the AssetLoader directly.
