Web3D & Lightweight VisualizationDifficulty: Low-Medium (Material MTL Mapping & Texture Baking)

Wavefront (.obj) to Web3D (.glb) Draco-Compressed Converter

Wavefront OBJ is an uncompressed ASCII format that results in massive file sizes with loose texture image dependencies. For e-commerce 3D product viewers (Shopify, Amazon) and Three.js web apps, converting OBJ to a single self-contained, Draco-compressed GLB file is mandatory.
