Export Models ​

iJewel Playground allows you to export your scene as a GLB file — a compact binary format that packages 3D geometry, materials, textures, and optionally scene settings into a single file. There are three ways to export, depending on how much control you need.

Export Format ​

FormatDescription
.glbBinary glTF — contains all objects, materials, textures, and optionally scene settings in one file

Three Ways to Export ​

Method 1 — Quick Export (Canvas Toolbar) ​

The fastest way to export. Click the Export GLBExport GLB button on the canvas toolbar — this immediately downloads your scene as a .glb file with current settings.

Quick export from toolbar

Method 2 — Left Panel Export ​

For a quick export with the option to enable compression:

  1. Open the ExportExport tab on the left panel
  2. Enable Compress if you want to reduce the file size (uses DRACO compression)
  3. Click Download .glb

Export from left panel

TIP

Use the left panel export when you need a smaller file for web embedding or sharing. DRACO compression significantly reduces file size with minimal quality loss.

Method 3 — Right Panel (Advanced Export) ​

For full control over what's included in the exported file, use the Asset Export section on the right panel:

  1. Open the ExportExport tab on the right panel
  2. Go to the Asset Export → GLB Export section
  3. Enter a file name at the top
  4. Configure export options (see below)
  5. Click Export GLB

Advanced export from right panel

Export Options ​

DRACO Compress
Applies DRACO compression to reduce file size. Useful for web delivery and embedding.
Scene Settings
Include all scene configuration (HDR, background, ground, post-processing, etc.) in the exported file. Disable if you only need the 3D geometry and materials.
Embed Image Previews
Embeds preview images of materials and scene inside the GLB file.
Only Visible
Exports only objects that are currently visible in the Hierarchy. Hidden objects are excluded from the file. This is useful for splitting one scene into multiple files — hide/show different parts and export separately.
Encrypt
Protects the file with a password. When enabled, a password input field appears. This password will be required every time someone tries to load the file.
Compress HDR env maps
Compresses the HDR environment maps included in the file to reduce overall size.
Convert to indexed
Converts geometry to indexed format for better performance and smaller file size.
Ignore invalid animations
Skips any animations that may cause export errors, ensuring a clean export.
Encrypt option with password field

Protecting Your Designs

Jewelry designs are often unique and commercially valuable. The Encrypt option lets you protect your GLB files with a password — anyone trying to open the file will need to enter it first. This adds an extra layer of security when sharing files with clients, manufacturers, or partners.

Splitting a Scene into Multiple Files

Use the Only Visible option together with the Hierarchy to export parts of your scene separately. For example, hide everything except the ring band, export it, then hide the band and show the gemstone, and export again. This gives you individual GLB files for each component.
