What is glTF?
glTF (GL Transmission Format) is an open 3D format published by the Khronos Group in 2015 and designed for efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models. The .gltf variant is a JSON text file that describes the scene and links to external geometry, textures and animations. Often called 'the JPEG of 3D,' it's the standard for delivering 3D content on the web and in AR and VR.
glTF files are stored uncompressed. Nothing is lost to encoding, though they can take more disk space than compressed formats.
glTF was developed by the Khronos Group and is an open standard.
Opening glTF files on a Mac
macOS doesn't preview glTF out of the box. Native 3D Quick Look covers Apple's USDZ/USDC format. Apple's free Reality Converter can import glTF and convert it to USDZ.
