On my Pixel, I get the following error in the browser console with Chrome.

DOMException: The ImageBitmap could not be allocated.

I suspect that mobile devices do not have enough memory to allocate image bitmaps for the 46 textures of your model.

I think your model is just too complex for mobile devices. Consider to reduce the amount of textures and their resolution.

That’s interesting that it loads in r117 but not r119 on Android. :confused: Maybe we need an option to disable the ImageBitmapLoader mode, like GLTFLoader: Option to enable/disable ImageBitmapLoader · Issue #20055 · mrdoob/three.js · GitHub? But yeah, it sounds like the model is borderline / too complex either way.

@GOWTHAM there are seven 4K textures in this model, and those consume ~50MB of GPU memory each on a mobile device. That’s quite a lot, and much more than the model needs, so as @Mugen87 suggests you will need to optimize this model.

The easiest way to do that is to unpack the textures with glTF-Pipeline, then just resize them to at most 2K each.

How do you create application for both platform. I am also trying to create an application by integrating the three.js with React Native. But I couldn’t load the gltf file. I am using expo-three for react native as the alternate of “THREE” , because expo-three only suitable for mobile version. Can you please say how do you load objects and in which technology you are creating this application.
