## What it is
A browser-based drag-and-drop viewer for previewing glTF 2.0 3D models using WebGL and three.js. It is available as a hosted web app at gltf-viewer.donmccurdy.com and can also be run locally.

## Use cases
- preview gltf 2.0 models in the browser
- quickly inspect 3d model files by dragging and dropping
- test how a gltf asset renders with three.js
- view glb and gltf files without installing software
- debug 3d model appearance before integrating into a scene

## When to choose
- you need a fast, zero-install way to preview glTF 2.0 models
- you want to verify how a model renders with three.js specifically
- you are iterating on 3D assets and need quick visual checks

## When to avoid
- you need a full 3D editor or asset manipulation tools
- you require support for formats other than glTF 2.0
- you need offline desktop viewing with advanced inspection features

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, image-processing, developer-tools
- domain: graphics, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser, cross-platform
