Super GLB Viewer for VS Code
Super GLB Viewer is a VS Code extension for opening, inspecting, editing, and re-exporting .glb 3D models, with four interchangeable rendering engines: Unity, Three.js, Babylon.js, and PlayCanvas.
Prefer the browser? The same engine runs as a free web app, no install needed: Super GLB Viewer (web)
Features
- Custom editor for
.glb files
- Four engines: Unity, Three.js, Babylon.js, PlayCanvas
- WebGL2 and WebGPU backends
- Animation playback with seek, track selection, and speed control
- Blend shapes / morph targets with per-target weights
- Inspector for the scene graph, materials (PBR, clearcoat, transmission, sheen, volume), transforms, and lights
- Side-by-side model comparison with synchronized camera and stat deltas
- Mesh compression and KTX2 texture compression
- Export edited models back to
.glb
- Shareable links (uploads the model to generate the URL)
- Custom HDR environments with exposure and tonemapping
- Stats panel: vertices, triangles, meshes, materials, textures, VRAM
- All processing is local. The Share feature is the only path that sends data off-machine.
