Format Conversion Tips

Conversion Recommendations

  • Convert from GLTF to GLB for production deployment
  • Use Blender's GLB export with "Apply Modifiers" enabled
  • Compress textures to JPEG for smaller file sizes (RGB channels)
  • Use PNG only for textures with transparency (alpha channel)

Best Practices for GLB

✅ Do:

  • Keep textures under 2048x2048 for better web performance
  • Use power-of-two texture dimensions (512, 1024, 2048)
  • Optimize models with tools like gltf-pipeline for smaller file sizes
  • Embed textures for easier deployment and faster loading
  • Use Draco compression for complex geometry

⚠️ Watch Out For:

  • Missing textures: Ensure all textures are embedded or properly referenced
  • Large file size: Use texture compression and Draco geometry compression
  • Animation issues: Check that animations are properly exported from source software
