GLB to 3DTiles: A Guide to Efficient Conversion in GISBox

In 3D GIS, GLB (GL Transmission Format Binary) and 3DTiles are two important file formats. GLB files are usually used to share 3D data and can contain information about 3D models, scenes, light sources, materials, etc., while 3DTiles is the mainstream format for 3D geographic data visualization, especially in WebGIS platforms. This article will introduce in detail how to convert GLB files into 3DTiles files in GISBox.
First, switch to the slicing module on the left side of the GISBox software, click the "New" button in the upper right corner, and select "Oblique Photography Reverse Cut" on the left side of the pop-up window.
