vite-plugin-gltf

Vite plugin for optimizing glTF 3D models during build. Version 4.0.0 is the latest stable release. Released by The New York Times R&D, it relies on the glTF Transform ecosystem for transforms like texture resizing, Draco compression, and mesh quantization. Unlike other glTF tooling that requires separate CLI steps, this integrates seamlessly into Vite's build pipeline. It is ESM-only, requires Node 18+, and all peer dependencies must be installed manually.
