Quick Description

GLB is a compact and standardized 3D file format. It is optimal for AR to store 3D geometry, textures, and animations.

How It Works

GLB combines geometry, materials, textures, and animations within a single binary file. This file is optimized for real-time performance, which makes it a perfect format for AR.

Example

The Trace Library is made up of models in the GLB file format. These models can include things like emojis, furniture, machinery, and more..

Why It Matters

GLB is the most common and most ideal 3D format for AR due to its speed and compatibility across engines. Other 3D file formats require multiple folders and organizational processes that make it difficult to transfer 3D files across different workflows.
