# Home ## What is Athena? Athena is a versatile, cross-platform baked model loader that features built-in support for connected textures. It employs unique baked models for each type to ensure optimal performance and compatibility across platforms. Athena's connected texture method (CTM) is designed specifically for these models to minimize unnecessary calculations and resolve common issues. Additionally, Athena allows for custom checks, such as special vertical culling for glass panes, to further enhance its functionality. ## How can I add Athena support to my models? To add Athena support it is very easy just find the model loader you would like on the left and then follow the instructions. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
