Is there a program or way to open webgl model (.html) and save it as .obj?
I want to 3D print and I need .obj file format.
Thank you
Andy

You’ll need to provide more detail about what you’re trying to do — an HTML file could contain anything at all, and isn’t necessarily a 3D model or even related to WebGL. If you have a scene in three.js, you can probably use `THREE.OBJExporter` to create an OBJ. If you can’t create the scene in three.js, I don’t think three.js will help you export to OBJ here.

Hi Don,
I know Three.js can export .obj but I am unable to load the .html file into the Three.
See the file. [S1 3D.rar](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/threejs/original/2X/3/30d1082929ca4442dcba1556255e851364f4a61f.rar) (2.5 MB)

The HTML is just a wrapper around pretty much anything… you won’t be able to convert the HTML file directly. If you look at line 1809 you’ll see a long string of data, which is the content of a ZLB file. That contains the actual 3D data. Unfortunately threejs is not going to be much help to you here… even if you extract the ZLB file from the HTML, I don’t know what to do with it.

This is a minified viewer loading a embeded file. From the site u’ve downloaded the standalone viewer like this file:
> **[Backpack accessories](https://b2b.partcommunity.com/community/partcloud/index?route=part&name=Backpack+accessories&model_id=75765)**
>
> A simple part for my backpack.
When you download a file there you can select a format, just select OBJ, not WebGL HTML, it’s a standalone viewer.

That sounds much more manageable 😅

Unfortunately I am unable to save this file as .obj or any other format.
I have only this .html file.
But somehow the browser interprets the geometry and so there should be a way to get it back to obj or other format.
Thank you
Andy
