Choosing glb vs glTF

• Use glb when you want a single self-contained file.
• Use glTF when you want separate JSON and resource files, or when you need finer control over external resource layout.

Before You Export

• Clean up the scene selection when using Export Selection.
• If you want to preserve imported animation clip structure, choose Time Editor Clips in the exporter options.
• If your scene contains gaussian splats, confirm the external gaussianSplat plug-in is loaded.
