GL

Graphics Library

File formats designed for the efficient delivery and loading of 3D graphics on various platforms, including the web. Developed by the Khronos Group, known for creating open standards for graphics and computation, GLB and glTF formats aim to provide a streamlined and compact representation of 3D assets. This makes it suitable for easy transmission and rendering across different platforms and devices. The format supports features like Physically-Based Rendering (PBR) materials, animations, and efficient geometry and textures, enhancing its suitability for various applications, including web-based 3D content, architectural visualization, and interactive experiences in education and training.
