In 3D computer graphics, a smoothing group is a group of polygons in a polygon mesh which should appear to form a smooth surface. [1] Smoothing groups are useful for describing shapes where some polygons are connected smoothly to their neighbors, and some are not.
The KTX 2.0 extension for universal texture compression enables 3D models in the glTF format to be highly compressed and to use natively supported texture formats, reducing file size and boosting rendering speed. [28] Draco is a glTF extension for mesh compression, to compress and decompress 3D meshes, to help reduce the size of 3D files.
A free version Shade 3D for Unity 3D lets 3D game developers create, edit and animate 3D game models then use a script to open models directly from within a Unity 3D project and then automatically return the model to the project environment. Shade 13 was released November 12, 2012.

The file format is open and has been adopted by other 3D graphics application vendors. The OBJ file format is a simple data-format that represents 3D geometry alone — namely, the position of each vertex, the UV position of each texture coordinate vertex, vertex normals, and the faces that make each polygon defined as a list of vertices, and ...
OpenSceneGraph is an open-source 3D graphics application programming interface (library or framework), [2] used by application developers in fields such as visual simulation, computer games, virtual reality, scientific visualization and modeling.
Open Asset Import Library (Assimp) is a cross-platform 3D model import library which aims to provide a common application programming interface (API) for different 3D asset file formats. Written in C++ , it offers interfaces for both C and C++.
These APIs for 3D computer graphics are particularly popular: ANGLE, web browsers graphics engine, a cross-platform translator of OpenGL ES calls to DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan API calls. Direct3D (a subset of DirectX) Glide a defunct 3D graphics API developed by 3dfx Interactive. Mantle developed by AMD. Metal developed by Apple.
