☑️ glTF™ - the jpeg of 3D

🎓 Learning Module in 9 steps (⏲️ 1h 20min) 


What is glTF?

Unit 1

glTF (GL Transmission Format) is a royalty-free specification for the efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models by engines and applications.

glTF minimizes the size of 3D assets, and the runtime processing needed to unpack and use them. glTF defines an extensible, publishing format that streamlines authoring workflows and interactive services by enabling the interoperable use of 3D content across the industry.
