Hi,  
I just downloaded threejs-example´s models and want to load Xbot.glb locally (localhost). When doing exactly same same as in the example:

```js
const loader = new GLTFLoader();|
loader.load( 'models/gltf/Xbot.glb', function ( gltf ) { console.log( "loaded") });

```

I´m getting an error in the console and the glb-file seems not to be loading:

> index.js:1446 SyntaxError: Unexpected token \< in JSON at position 0  
> at Object.parse ()  
> at GLTFLoader.parse (GLTFLoader.js:178)  
> at Object.onLoad (GLTFLoader.js:102)  
> at XMLHttpRequest. (three.module.js:30530)

Any help is highly appreciated  
B

This error usually indicates that your backend does not correctly serve the glTF asset. Check out:

> Hi, I’am trying to load GLTF model of parrot. I downloaded the model and I imported a GLTFLoader. When I try to create a GLTFLoader it says: [image] On my server I’am using parcel.js It’s interesting that on the codesandbox it is working properly… Maybe it’s something wrong with parcel? Do you know what am I doing wrong? Thanks
