- For OBJ, include the matching `.mtl` and texture files.
- Prefer GLB for a single portable file.
- Large files may take longer on mobile hardware.

Which formats are supported?
Forgeview is strongest with GLB and glTF, with maintained browser loaders for FBX, OBJ/MTL, STL, PLY, 3MF, Collada, 3DS, USD variants where the loader succeeds, and BVH skeleton/animation inspection.
Does Forgeview upload my model?
No. The viewer reads selected files locally. The website and app do not include a Forgeview cloud upload workflow.
Why is an animation list empty?
The source file may not contain animation clips. Static OBJ, STL, and many CAD exports correctly show no animation data.
How do I manage advertising privacy?
On Android, open the privacy-options control in the app menu. The available UMP choices depend on your region and consent status.
