Three.js 184 is out! Lots of great enhancements, and a tiny tweak from me!
You can now use webp textures across the whole GLTF pipeline.
All changes: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/releases/tag/r184
Example: https://threejs.org/examples/?q=gltf#misc_exporter_gltf
Also: ambient type generation from #glTF scene data and Needle components in those for type safe scene access everywhere.
(Still experimenting with syntax/names/formats)
I consider to #transcode the #gltf generator of #OSM2World from #Java to #Rust, by #AI of course. What tools (free tools!) are recommended?
There are many web tools to convert single sources. And the comments are great, default traits get used etc.
But to convert a directory or a (GitHub) project may need a payed account.
I once just used #ChatGPT for a 40-file-project, but there may be better ways now. May be GitHub includes such features, does it?
The Khronos 3D Formats Working Group has launched an Education, Insights, and Outreach (EIO) Subgroup to help developers and creators get the most from #glTF and #KTX — closing the gap between specification and real-world practice.
The Subgroup's first public webinar takes place tomorrow, April 7: Gaussian Splats: Use Cases & Next Steps for glTF Standardization.

The glTF Working Group at Khronos is excited to announce two significant website upgrades at the center of the glTF developer ecosystem:
- A new landing page for the glTF Sample Assets GitHub repository provides a polished and powerful new web front-end.
- The glTF Render Fidelity Comparison website has undergone a modern redesign to deliver clear, side-by-side render fidelity comparisons.

Interactive 3D model of the Voron Trident 3D Printer now live.
Loaded the STEP into FreeCAD and exported to binary glTF (.glb), then deployed to a web viewer. You can rotate, zoom, and selectively hide panels to reveal the interior assembly. Model is ~64MB, best on a workstation browser.
