I am wondering how secure is when we are publishing 3D GLB or GLTF online with interactivity etc?

So far I have been using Sketchfab free publishing, if I were to make my own interactive 3D web or working for client, when publishing GLTF or GLB, isn’t it something that can easily be downloaded?

The glTF format is an open standard that intended for exchanging between authoring tools and viewers. It can be rather easily downloaded and imported and to my knowledge there are no technical means to prevent this. This situation is very similar to what we currently have with images, music, videos etc – everything is downloadable from the Web. So I guess only legal means will work here.

With this technique, I destroy the UV texture map and re-apply with my original file, even if the 3D model are stolen, the UV mesh is a mess.

– create a shape key in Blender, detach and randomize selected part of the model, create 2nd UV map with it.

– Duplicate the model, re-project (re-paint) the selected part from your original texture (or captured from the screen).

I will write to a well known Blender Guru to make a video later.

On the model side, how good is your model worth stealing? As far as I know after 20 years, no way to protect your asset whatever the file format, if it can be compiled, it can be de-compiled. So the only way is to cripple it.

How secure is my app’s visual_logic.js file if it is reachable by browsers on the internet?
Since the path to it is written in the page that a user sees in their browser could someone get a copy of the code that builds and runs my app?
What would I need to do to secure the files for my app so that no one could get a copy of the code that builds or runs my app?

Hi,

using obfuscation tools like these can make your .js files totally unreadable.
