I want to load an .fbx model on my site via github pages. ([GitHub - Malmaars/threejs-doneright](https://github.com/Malmaars/threejs-doneright))(the problem is on /dist/js/Boat.js)  
I used [this tutorial]([How to deploy a Three.js project on GitHub? (Not using Webpack) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpTjJk-pt6s) to get the basics.  
Now I can load .obj files without problems, but I want to use .fbx files to be able to use animations as well. When I try to do so I get this:

This is the fbx code I tried (comparible with the code on the github)

and I import the fbxloader like this

I tried it with other .fbx files, and these also don’t seem to work ☹

I found that importing inflate.min.js from [https://unpkg.com/zlibjs@0.3.1/bin/inflate.min.js](https://unpkg.com/zlibjs@0.3.1/bin/inflate.min.js) works. Although the message importing that came up with other code of using the FBXLoader, it seems to work with the example I posted here.

If you upgrade `three.js` to the latest release and use the module version of `FBXLoader` (located in `examples/jsm/loaders`), you don’t have to worry about the loader’s dependencies. Libraries for unpacking archives are imported automatically.
