What is the difference between Draco and Meshopt compression?

Draco typically offers smaller file sizes but takes longer to decompress on the client side. Meshopt provides faster decode times and better support for animated models, making it the recommended choice for performance-critical applications.

How do I implement optimized assets in Three.js?

The skill provides modern code snippets for setting up GLTFLoader with MeshoptDecoders and KTX2Loaders, including WebGPU-ready patterns for 2026 standards.

Why should I use KTX2 textures instead of PNG or JPEG?

KTX2 (Basis Universal) textures are GPU-compressed, meaning they stay compressed even in GPU memory. This significantly reduces VRAM usage and prevents browser crashes on mobile devices while improving rendering speed.

Does this skill provide help with Blender exports?

Yes, it includes a detailed checklist for Blender 4.2+ export settings, covering transforms, modifiers, animation sampling, and material configurations to ensure compatibility with web engines.
