How do I apply the 'Modelviewer' environment setting for my glb file integration?

Hi,
I have a glb file from my client that I’m integrating into my website. While experimenting on the editor page, I discovered that switching the ‘Environment’ setting to ‘Modelviewer’ drastically changes the appearance, making it much closer to what I want. Is it straightforward to set this environment, or am I missing something obvious? I tried reverse engineering it from the editor page but haven't found a clear solution yet.
Cheers

To achieve the "Modelviewer" environment look you're seeing in the editor, you'll need to work with environment maps in Three.js. This is related to the envMap
property of materials like MeshStandardMaterial
.
Here's how you can implement this:
PMREMGenerator
:JAVASCRIPT// Create a PMREMGenerator const pmremGenerator = new THREE.PMREMGenerator(renderer); pmremGenerator.compileEquirectangularShader(); // Load the environment map new THREE.TextureLoader().load('path/to/environment.hdr', function(texture) { // Generate the environment map const envMap = pmremGenerator.fromEquirectangular(texture).texture; // Set the scene's environment map scene.environment = envMap; // Optionally, set it as the background too scene.background = envMap; // Clean up texture.dispose(); pmremGenerator.dispose(); });
envMapIntensity
property on your materials:JAVASCRIPT// Assuming your model has MeshStandardMaterial model.traverse(function(child) { if (child.isMesh && child.material) { // For a single material if (child.material.isMeshStandardMaterial) { child.material.envMapIntensity = 1.5; // Adjust as needed } // For multiple materials in an array if (Array.isArray(child.material)) { child.material.forEach(material => { if (material.isMeshStandardMaterial) { material.envMapIntensity = 1.5; // Adjust as needed } }); } } });
You'll need to find the specific environment map texture that the editor is using for the "Modelviewer" setting. You might want to look for HDR environment maps that are similar to what you're seeing in the editor.
For loading your GLB file, you'll need to use the GLTFLoader:
JAVASCRIPTconst loader = new THREE.GLTFLoader(); loader.load('path/to/your/model.glb', function(gltf) { const model = gltf.scene; scene.add(model); // Apply environment map settings to the model materials here });
This approach should help you achieve a similar look to what you're seeing in the editor with the "Modelviewer" environment setting.
