## Description

[glTF](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF) is an emerging open standard for the
transmission and storage of 3D models. This plugin allows you to upload these models
in “Embedded JSON” and Binary formats. Currently, inline rendering is only supported
for the JSON format.

The ultimate goal of this plugin is to provide a 3D “post type” (gltf_scene) which
allows the user to compose an interactive scene populated by objects that represent
other content from their site (e.g. a book containing posts in a particular category,
a door leading to another page or site). It is also a goal to make this content 
work best in VR headsets, but with a workable fallback for browsers.

This plugin includes [Three.js](https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/), a wonderful
creation of [Mr Doob](http://mrdoob.com/) and many others. I am massively impressed
by their work. I am also not so great at PHP or Javascript, so please forgive my
missteps.

It also has basic WebVR support, where available.

## Installation

 1. Unzip this plugin in the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the “glTF Media Type” plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Upload .gltf or .glb files via the Media browser, or via the Add Media button for
    posts/pages.
 4. Embed the 3D object in posts using a shortcode, like `[gltf_model scale=”1.0″ url
    =”http://mywordpresssite.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/model.gltf”]. Note: You
    may get that full URL from the Media browser by selecting the file and copying 
    the link.
 5. You may also create a “GLTF Scene” using the “Scene” post type, and attaching a
    3D model on the post edit page.
