In previous post, we looked into a prior topic of a simple acronym "FUSE" to describe glTF.
The first letter F stands for Fast, followed by U, which stands for Universal.
Now let's unpack the 3rd letter, S, for Simple, similar to plug and play🔌.
This export is super easy, similar to publishing a picture on this 3DEXCITE Product Communicator dialog.
There has been questions about the two formats: glb vs. glTF.
To cut to the chase, they are from the same standard. Glb is recommended for most cases when you want one final result, whereas glTF breaks it down into separate pieces, such as geometries and textures for debugging or analysis purpose.
Once published, you may easily view the 3D model in a glTF viewer, such as https://sandbox.babylonjs.com/.
You can also easily embed glTF on your webpages with minimal coding.
Here is an example of less than 10 lines of code of only two steps.
- Call for a viewer;
- Feed the viewer with a glb model.
That's it! https://codepen.io/BabylonJS/pen/QxzBPd/.
You can easily copy and paste these lines to your webpages to showcase your own models.
Super simple, right?
