Animating 3D Model Updates
Date: March 17, 2025
We have been very busy improving the animation capabilities of our 3D model viewer to make creating animated GIFs and MP4s from your favorite animated GLB and FBX models. Even if your 3D models do not contain (or do not support) an animation, our 3D viewer now offers a choice of 6 simple predefined animations.
FBX and GLB Animations
FBX and GLB files can contain animations. If you have such a file, you can load this into one of our 3D model-to-animation tools such as our FBX to GIF. If your file contains more than one animation, then our tool will provide a list of available animations to choose from.
Standard Animations
If you have other file formats that do not support animations, then these can also be animated using one of the standard animations. Our standard animations are available for use with all 3D formats, including FBX and GLB, with each animation providing several options to allow you to fine-tune the behavior of the animation.
- Rotate
- Bounce
- Figure-Eight
- Hover
- Orbit
- Wobble
We have put together a short animation tutorial that shows how to load your favorite FBX, GLB, or other 3D model and create seamless, repeatable animations in either GIF, MP4, or WEBP formats.
Along with the existing options allowing you to customize the model material, background gradient, and camera positioning, the updated 3D model preview allows anyone to create 3D animations with little technical knowledge of specialist software.
