hey @eyaler @raclim , I have working on this and almost done with issue, just wanted to know that should I update the translation.json file for all the language for showing glb/gltf/fbx files in the warning message, mainly because this is not exactly translation just adding glb/gltf/fbx in all or just for English

Thanks so much @webermayank, @G4URAV001, and @ojuschugh1 for expressing interest in this issue! I'm sorry for the delay in getting back with a response.

Thanks for linking screenshots @G4URAV001 and for pointing out questions about the translations! I think to help keep issues and concerns organized, it would be best to open a separate issue for these translations and have them incrementally handled there!

I'm also sorry for the delay in keeping with the recent assigned issue policy. Since @ojuschugh1 currently has an open PR, @G4URAV001 and @webermayank would you be open to maybe reviewing this with some of your suggestions? Let me know if you all have other ideas here as well!

@eyaler After looking into this further, I think this issue might be related to how the loadModel() method is implemented in the p5.js library. From what I can tell, there have been a few past issues in the p5.js repository regarding support for .gltf files, which have suggested using libraries like Babylon.js or Three.js for working with these file formats. I'm not sure if expanded support is currently planned, but I’d recommend opening this issue in the p5.js repo!
