Taking too much time to load object

[Noor]

I’ve created a Customizer using Three.js with some Obj and Mlt file, But it taking too much time to load files.
Please take a look at this and please suggest some way to make the site lighter.
Thank you

I suggest you convert your OBJ files to glTF. The file size will be smaller and you will have a shorter client-side parsing time. In the next step, you can try to Draco-compress your glTF assets which will further reduce the file size. More information right here:

Anyone using Draco?

I’m using it and I think it’s great. Just one example to illustrate this: The following model at Sketchfab is very complex. The original OBJ file is 186 MB big, the glTF version about 41 MB. Although the usage of glTF clearly reduces the file size, it’s still bad to load this amount of data over a potential slow internet connection. After applying Draco with default compression level to the asset via gltf-pipeline, the file size is reduced to approx. 5 MB. Of course you have now a higher client…

Thank you so much for your response.
Actually the Obj file contains too many materials which near about 113mb, there are to many image maps. So if I convert OBJ files to glTF it will work properly, Right?

I don’t have so much idea about this so it will be really helpful to me.
Thank you

Well, you should achieve a better results as before. But using glTF won’t decrease the overall size of your texture data.
