.gltf file huge after export

[anzmaaan]

Hello!

Exporting my selected objects from Blender (some of the objects came from Cinema4D, rest was created in Blender), I get a file that is surprisingly large to what I expected it to be - in terms of texture file sizes (all textures are jpgs, total 5 Megabytes) and polygon count (82k for the whole scene), there are no animations, blend shapes etc. just static meshes. Upon opening the .gltf in VS Code, the file reveals a large chunk of data at the end (see attached file) which goes on and on and represents the binary embedded as of my understanding. I can't really make sense of the cause for the size, maybe somebody can help. Ultimately I need a .glb file <10 Megabytes. Currently I'm looking at about 22 Megabytes for a glb-export of my scene.

Kind regards and thanks for looking into it!

• Never ever use glTF Embedded. It includes all binary data as base64 text, which inflates its size by 33%.
• Your images alone are 11MB, you have to downsize them or save them at lower quality.
• You have a bunch of unused UVMaps. In particular, "geo_aussenzaun.001_Plane.005" has 7 unused UVMaps taking up 6MB. Delete them.
• Run files through gltf-pack for smaller filesize.
