Taking too much time to load object

[Mugen87]

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…
