GLB Graphics Language Transmission File

A file format developed and maintained by the Khronos Group organization, a consortium of industry leaders that creates open standards for graphics, media, and parallel computing. It is designed to facilitate the efficient storage and exchange of 3D models.

Key Features of GLTF and GLB

  • GLTF Versions: There are two versions of the GLTF file format that are available:
    • GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, simple materials with textures, basic skeletal animations with joint hierarchies, scenes with a single root node and a hierarchy of child nodes, etc.
    • GLTF 2.0: Supports more features, such as PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, advanced skeletal animations, skinning, morph targets, etc.
  • ASCII and Binary Modes: By default, a GLTF file is saved in ASCII text mode, which is human-readable and easy to edit. To save a GLTF file with all referenced texture images in binary mode, the GLB file extension should be used. This reduces the file size and the number of files.
  • Embedded Textures: GLTF/GLB files allow for a more streamlined and efficient way to manage 3D assets. By storing textures directly within the file, these formats eliminate the need for separate image files, making the 3D model self-contained and easier to distribute.

GLTF/GLB File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application allow you to import and export GLTF and GLB files, and convert them into various other 3D file formats. Our products also support the use of Draco compression, which can significantly reduce the size of GLTF and GLB files without compromising visual fidelity.

PNG Portable Network Graphics Image

It's a type of raster image file format that uses lossless compression. This means that the image quality is preserved even when the file size is reduced. PNG files also support transparency, which allows images to have irregular shapes or backgrounds that blend with the web page. However, PNG files do not support animation, unlike GIF files.

Key Features of PNG

  • Space-Saving Efficiency: PNG’s compressed format delivers smaller files than uncompressed alternatives (e.g., BMP), accelerating webpage loads without sacrificing quality.
  • Lossless Compression: Using the same DEFLATE algorithm as ZIP files, PNG’s lossless compression retains crisp details - ideal for repeated edits or archiving.
  • Diverse Imagery: Where JPEG struggles with artifacts in text/logos, PNG excels at rendering solid colors and hard edges flawlessly.
  • Advanced Color Options: From full 24-bit RGB (plus 8-bit alpha transparency) to compact 256-color palettes, PNG adapts to both complex photos and simple graphics.

PNG to 3D Converters

Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software support PNG and other image formats for conversion to various 3D file types including STL, 3DS, FBX, and 3DM. You can easily import PNG files and export them in your preferred 3D format for use in modeling projects.
