Use .blend or .fbx files are recommended if you want good material support. You can also import your model into Blender &amp; export your own .glb\/.gltf file.<\/li> <li><strong>Materials\/setup:<\/strong> Materials have to be set up correctly. Files that Blender handles must be a principled node connected to the material output.

That will cause flickering when you rotate the model in the viewer.<\/li> <li><strong>Vertex colors\/materials:<\/strong> We support vertex colors and materials. If the material is not valid, the vertex colors will show. If it is, the vertex buffers are multiplied by the material&#8217;s base color. We don&#8217;t support node groups.<\/li> <li><strong>Polycount\/textures:<\/strong> Try to keep the polycount and texture sizes as small as possible for performance reasons.<\/li> <li><strong>Image rendering issue (.fbx):<\/strong> The 3D viewer will use the real camera, if one exists for your 3D model.
