Questions Are materials and textures kept? Colours and texture coordinates are carried over when GLB supports them. Texture images are kept for formats that can hold them.
Will my model be upside down? No. PLY and GLB may use different "up" directions, and we rotate the model so it stands the same way in your software.
Are my files uploaded? No. The conversion runs inside your browser.
