Uh oh!

We've published a detailed introduction to Vectreal — what it is, the technical decisions behind it, and the three packages that make up its open-source pipeline.
The problem: Getting interactive 3D into a web page means dealing with oversized files, format fragmentation (glTF, GLB, OBJ, USDZ), complex optimization passes, and proprietary embed infrastructure. Most teams settle for a screenshot.
The approach: A complete open pipeline — upload → optimize (glTF-Transform mesh simplification, KTX2/Basis Universal texture compression) → configure → publish → embed — available as three AGPL-3.0 packages:
@vctrl/viewer— React component for rendering 3D scenes (Three.js + React Three Fiber)@vctrl/hooks— Browser-side hooks for loading, optimizing, and exporting models (Web Worker-based)@vctrl/core— Server-side model processing for Node.js 18+ (Sharp ^0.34 for texture compression, dedup+prune fallback when Sharp is unavailable)All packages are pre-1.0. Breaking changes may occur before the first major release.
