Earns its place in the blender_extensions library as a focused Import-Export tool: it reads Meshopt and quantized GLB models in standalone Python and requires no special permissions.
Compressed GLB Importer brings Meshopt and quantized GLB models into Blender using standalone Python. Wiffzackius built it as an Import-Export extension, and it works with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer.
The add-on covers the import side. When a model needs compressing first, the developer points to the glbzip web tool or a local glTF-Transform setup. The extension requires no special permissions and weighs around 40.9 KB.
Installation uses Blender's standard flow: drag and drop the extension into Blender, or download and install from disk. It's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, currently at version 0.0.5. Source and issue reporting live on the developer's GitHub repository. Version 0.0.5 removed the standard Python main-guard and adapted the command-line information. First published in March 2026, it has passed a thousand downloads.
Compressed GLB Importer is best for blender users who need to import Meshopt-compressed and quantized GLB models.
Compressed GLB Importer is completely free to download and use.
Compressed GLB Importer supports Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it fits recent releases along that line. It's an Import-Export extension from Wiffzackius, currently at version 0.0.5, and it requires no special permissions when added. Because it relies on standalone Python, no extra dependencies are called out for import. If you're on a Blender release older than 4.2 LTS, this extension isn't listed as compatible, so the developer's GitHub repository is the place to confirm before installing.
Compressed GLB Importer installs the same way as other Blender extensions. You can drag and drop the extension file into Blender, or download it and install from disk through Blender's extension preferences. The package is small, around 40.9 KB, so setup is quick, and it requires no special permissions once added. It's distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. For the download and any setup notes, the developer's GitHub repository is the reference point.
Compressed GLB Importer handles the import side, reading Meshopt and quantized GLB models. To create a compressed model in the first place, the developer points to two options: the glbzip web tool, or a local glTF-Transform setup for command-line compression. Once a GLB is compressed through either route, you bring it into Blender with the add-on. This split keeps the extension focused on import while leaving compression to dedicated tooling on the developer's linked pages.
Compressed GLB Importer is listed as free in this catalog, and it's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. That license covers use, modification, and redistribution under GPL terms, with the source available on the developer's GitHub repository. For current licensing details and any changes tied to newer versions, check the developer's page directly rather than relying on a fixed figure here. Version 0.0.5 is the release noted, published in March 2026.
