inspect-glb

Use before loading, placing, scaling, or animating GLB models in PlayCanvas to measure bounds, grounding, clips, joints, and hierarchy with the bundled offline inspector.

Inspect GLBs

Resolve scripts/inspect.mjs relative to this skill and run it before choosing transforms or animation names. Shortlist files; do not dump a whole asset pack into context.

node <skill-directory>/scripts/inspect.mjs public/models/*.glb

Read the output

  • dims, center, and groundOffset give the uniform scale input, the pivot offset, and the Y seat. Non-zero center.x or center.z means the model does not sit on its root.
  • boundsSource: trust bounds for placement only when it is vertices. accessor-minmax can over-estimate rotated nodes by up to 41 percent; incomplete or null means do not calibrate. boundsNotes gives the cause.
  • boundsPose: static and default-morph are the authored pose; bind is the skinned rest pose.
  • requiresRuntimeCheck flags morphs, skins, or partial decoding; confirm extents in the app.
  • nodePaths, clips, joints, and animationTargets feed configure-animation.

Bounds cannot prove facing. Confirm it in the running app and record the yaw with calibrate-model. Runtime meshInstance.aabb expands conservatively for morphs, so place static models from inspected bounds.

Compressed files

The inspector decodes plain, interleaved, quantized, and sparse buffers. For Draco, Meshopt, or external buffers, inspect a lossless scratch copy; do not use optimize, which applies extra transforms:

npx --yes @gltf-transform/cli@4.4.2 copy in.glb scratch.glb

The Engine cannot load EXT_meshopt_compression; see load-assets before shipping such files.
