## Examples

- [Example on Github](https://github.com/needle-engine/progressive-meshes-sample)


## Usage

In general all files that have been processed by this package are valid glTF/GLB files.    
The glTF Build Pipeline package is meant to be used as a last step before delivery.   
That means:
- files are meant to be loaded e.g. in a web runtime like three.js 
- files are not to be opened in Blender again to be further edited    

To load progressively enhanced glTF files in any three.js based engine see examples at [@needle-tools/gltf-progressive](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@needle-tools/gltf-progressive)
