🧊3D Fundamentals
Foveate can take multiple 3D formats but the preferred format is the GLTF, .gltf/.glb as it is a modern format designed for easy shareability.

Foveate uses the GLTF file as the main interoperable file since every popular 3D app now supports its export. It has many advantages over OBJ or FBX such as a native PBR materials workflow, armature and blendshape animation, cameras, lights, mesh compression and texture compression. It will be the definitive last mile format of the future. Foveate will automatically optimize and compress any GLTF you upload.
The GLTF is the Delivery 3D format, designed to have all types of 3D information in the smallest file size, without any of the baggage of the original 3D file. Think of it like the .jpg or .mp3 of 3D.
See the CAD and 3D Export Guidessection to find out how to export from your favorite 3D app.
In addition, Foveate accepts 3DM, FBX, PLY, SPLAT and USDZ files.
For Augmented Reality (AR), Foveate uses the Apple USDZ format which opens natively on every Apple device, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro etc.
See the Augmented Realitypage for more information.
