glTF Animation

This section controls playback of animations embedded in your glTF/GLB file. If you created an animation in your 3D software (Blender, 3ds Max, Maya) and exported it with the file, you can play it back and adjust its speed directly in Playground.

This is useful for product showcase animations — a ring rotating to show all angles, a pendant swinging, or a bracelet clasp opening and closing. You prepare the animation in your 3D software, export it as glTF/GLB, and then control the playback here.

Where to Find It

This section is located on the right panel, inside the AnimationsAnimations tab, in the glTF Animation section.

You can also start and stop the animation using the Play glTF AnimationPlay glTF Animation button on the top toolbar.
