Convert VRML to GLB 1.0 Online For Free

VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is a text-based 3D graphics language for describing virtual reality scenes and objects. It was originally released in 1994 to enable Internet users to browse and interactively navigate 3D models and create VR scenes. VRML files usually end with .wrl Enterprise Archive File and contain information about geometry, materials, animation, and interactivity with individual elements in the scene. These elements can be basic geometry such as spheres, cuboids, or cylinders, complex surface models or 3D mesh models with texture mapping. VRML files, when run in a browser, allow users to interact with the mouse and keyboard to browse, zoom, rotate, and pan 3D scenes. In addition, VRML also supports scripting, allowing developers to achieve higher levels of interactivity. Although VRML received a lot of attention in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it has been replaced by most emerging 3D graphics technologies in web applications due to its more restricted use and backward technology. However, VRML is still considered an important historical milestone in the field of virtual reality.

GLB is a binary file format representation of 3D models saved in GL Transfer Format (glTF). Information about 3D models such as node hierarchy, cameras, materials, animations, and meshes in binary format. This binary format stores glTF assets (JSON, .bin, and images) in binary blobs. It also avoids the problem of increased file size that occurs in the case of glTF. The GLB file format brings compact file size, fast loading, full 3D scene representation, and extensibility for further development. The format uses model/gltf-binary as the MIME type.
