Hi, I am making a solar system with three.js, but I may want someone who uses 3DS Max to create custom planets for me. In terms of work flow, could I have them export the planets as glTF files with this plugin and then load the planets into my solar system, using GLTFLoader?

Aslong as the file is valid (= meets the [glTF-specification](https://registry.khronos.org/glTF/specs/2.0/glTF-2.0.html)). I don’t see a reason why you should not able to create 3d models in 3dsmax, export it as gltf/glb and import/load into threejs.
