FAQ
GLTF to OBJ Conversion
What are GLTF files?
glTF or GL Transmission Format is a vector extension developed by the non-profit consortium Khronos with the aim of improving interoperability between various types of software specialized in creating and accessing 3D content. The extension is compatible with several application programming interfaces (APIs) that offer 2D and 3D vector graphics rendering, including WebGL, OpenGL ES and OpenGL.
What are OBJ files?
OBJ is a 3D model format created by Wavefront Technologies for its Advanced Visualizer software and now supported by almost every 3D application, which makes it one of the most common formats for exchanging models. A file of this type is plain text that describes the shape of an object: the coordinates of its vertices, the texture coordinates used for UV mapping, the surface normals, and the faces that join them into polygons. Named groups divide a model into separate parts. Colors and materials are not stored in the file itself but in a separate .mtl file that it refers to, with the texture images kept alongside. The format holds a static model only, with no animation, bones, or lights.
