## Installation Babylon JS

The Babylon.js plugin is available here: [https://github.com/BabylonJS/Exporters/releases](https://github.com/BabylonJS/Exporters/releases)

It is easiest to download only “Installer.zip”, because here the installed 3DS Max version will be automatically detected and the update will be simplified.

After installing the plugin, a new menu item will appear in 3DS Max:

## Export from GLB / GLTF

After opening the Babylon File Exporter window, make sure that you have selected either gltf or glb as the output format. Optionally, “Use Draco compression” can be enabled to create smaller files.

## Preview

You can preview your GLB / GLTF file with the [gLTF Viewer](https://gltf-viewer.donmccurdy.com/) to display it. Simply drag the GLB file or the zipped folder of GLTF files into the browser.
