Teapot (GLB)
A procedurally-built teapot — a surface-of-revolution body and lid with a stepped spout, a torus handle, and a knob — as a self-contained GLB. The classic teapot shape, for testing 3D loaders and the model viewer.

What is a .glb file?
GLB is the binary form of glTF, packaging 3D scene geometry, materials, textures, animations, and node hierarchy into a single self-contained file. It is optimized for efficient runtime loading and is often called the JPEG of 3D. It is widely used in web, AR, and real-time 3D applications.
How to use this file
Use an example GLB to test glTF loaders, embedded-texture and animation handling, and real-time rendering pipelines in web or game engines.
Code examples
import trimesh # pip install trimesh
mesh = trimesh.load("teapot.glb")
