# glTF file format :::tip **Materials will be lost with glTF format. Why?** The glTF file requires external processing file formats, such as for textures, shaders and animation data. These external elements are stored in the glTF file, but each in a unique format. Normally, one folder for a glTF asset looks like this. ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/b8818edf-d878-43c7-bdf0-a354b2391882/286412b8-e811-418f-b0f4-56d999dfc63d/2022-11-29_11-48-28.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20261023%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20261023T000000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=ce7ee64483e36574f4d0ec3ccabc665ab9fdabeb4642dff5138d7e6f72636004&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject " =411x259") On the other hand, R.Design can import the 3D object file only, so all the associated textures will be removed once it is imported. ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/b8818edf-d878-43c7-bdf0-a354b2391882/80108636-aa34-42b4-a23b-67525fbcc3ae/2022-11-29_11-47-40.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20261023%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20261023T000000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=56030f4c1dde4c15471006bd520d97642f976fa5c6c406697defd354ed057610&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject) ::: # Export directly from 3D Software ## Blender You should select either of the following formats to associate all applied materials with the object. • glTF Binary (.glb) • glTF Embedded (.gltf) ![](glTF%20file%20format%20235839fdfee6420f8dabf2ff13cfdfec/image_(85).png) **A sample glTF file:** [Farmhouse05_V2.gltf](https://docs.r.design/download/attachments/71993113/Farmhouse05_V2.gltf?version=1&modificationDate=1669698883000&api=v2) ![](https://outline-production-attachments.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/uploads/b8818edf-d878-43c7-bdf0-a354b2391882/5302134b-4500-4c0e-b402-3bdd4eecc4a0/2022-11-29_12-15-44.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA4EOUDTOVUICLPZ4P%2F20261023%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20261023T000000Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Signature=4e9cbc4e68e19cd4f87830fde907e3622792939db0779bd20064f957197c5e4a&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject) # Plugins to 3D software | | | |:----|:----| | 3D Software | | | Rhinoceros | You need to install the plugin to import glTF files.
