GLB can package geometry, materials, and textures in one file, which makes it the safest handoff into a browser workflow.
Drapery Reveal
Supported 3D model formats
Drapery Reveal accepts six public model formats. The geometry may load successfully while materials behave differently, so format choice matters before you record.
No installation · Source model normally stays in your browser · No subscription
GLB — recommended
GLTF
A self-contained GLTF can work, but the current one-file picker does not gather companion .bin files and texture folders. Use GLB when a GLTF relies on separate resources.
OBJ
OBJ geometry is accepted. The current workflow does not load an accompanying MTL file, so original OBJ materials should not be assumed.
Prepare an OBJ reveal
Plan for geometry-first import and recreate the presentation material in the editor.
Learn moreFBX
FBX geometry and embedded information may load, but external texture dependencies are not guaranteed. Inspect the model in the editor before recording.
Prepare an FBX reveal
Review texture dependencies, orientation, and scale before recording.
Learn moreSTL
STL is geometry-focused and does not carry a complete rendered material appearance. Drapery Reveal assigns a general scene material for presentation.
3MF
3MF files are accepted. Because authoring tools package 3MF data differently, verify geometry and appearance in the browser before committing to a recording.
Not advertised as public support
STEP and STP are not included in the public file picker and are not promised as supported formats, even if experimental code exists in the project.
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Which format is safest?
GLB is the safest option because it can package geometry, materials, and textures in a single file.
Why did my texture not appear?
The source format may reference a companion material or texture file that is not embedded. Convert the asset to a self-contained GLB and test again.
Is STEP supported?
No. STEP and STP are not currently advertised or available in the public file picker.
