Surprisingly (or rather not), Facebook’s glTF viewer appears to be Three.js-based…

Are you sure about that? One of the devs (I think) said otherwise on GitHub the other day.

EDIT: this comment: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/13397#issuecomment-368894618

as far as I can see from the browser console, FB uses vanilla Three.js

THREE.WebGLRenderer 88

Wow, cool! I guess they are using their own loader and three.js for rendering.

Seeing logs from THREE.GLTFLoader as well, although they must be using a forked version as r88 didn’t support the unlit extension… :grin:

Interesting… Google Poly is also based on Three.js/glTF even if the source files must be in the OBJ format. :thinking:
