glTF is the right answer wherever a 3D model is meant to be displayed rather than edited further. Compared to FBX or OBJ it’s lean, modern and built for PBR materials from the ground up. That’s why nearly every web 3D viewer runs on glTF, including Google’s model-viewer and the Android Scene Viewer.
In practice you’ll rarely touch the multi-part .gltf variant directly; the compact GLB form is what gets shipped. For WordPress Elementor sites, PausAR Viewer takes the GLB (or .gltf) file as input and renders it with full PBR support and an automatic AR button on compatible devices.
| Property | glTF | FBX |
|---|---|---|
| Target use case | Web, AR, mobile display | Exchange between editing tools |
| Openness | Open Khronos standard | Proprietary (Autodesk) |
| Web compatibility | Works directly in the browser | Not directly web-ready |
Content-wise yes, formally no. glTF can exist as a multi-part .gltf bundle or as a packed .glb file.
Not really. It's a delivery format. You model in Blender, Maya or ZBrush and export to glTF/GLB at the end.
Upload your .gltf or .glb file to the PausAR Viewer Elementor widget. The plugin renders it as an interactive 3D viewer with PBR materials and an optional AR button for compatible devices.
Yes. Skeletal animation, morph targets and basic keyframe animations are stored natively.
