Thanks XAR. So the journey is over (unless I see a non-GLB format model I really want to have). From here on in, I only buy models that have a GLB format. Luckily the Piccolo spider robot had a GLB file. I just loaded that and it displays and works fine in in ThreeJS (see screenshot):
Note to my fellow ThreeJS devs that don’t have artist skills. TurboSquid
has terrific support but unfortunately:
- Most of the models I was interested in did not have GLB format available
- Either their search doesn’t have the ability to filter by model format or I couldn’t figure out how to filter by model
But luckily SketchFab
has everything I need. I’ll be sticking with SketchFab
for now. My two cents, your mileage may vary.
