I have an animated flow and I want to export it into some sort of 3d output standard.

I’m afraid saving timestep into a .gltf is not supported yet.

If you want a glTF so that you can share the animation online, I’ll point out that [Sketchfab](https://sketchfab.com/) supports [flipbook-style animation](https://help.sketchfab.com/hc/en-us/articles/203058018-Animations#timeframe) where you give it a model for each timestep. Using the technique I described in [this post](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/not-able-to-save-ply-animation-for-all-timesteps/5617/2), I’ve been able to successfully export ParaView animations to Sketchfab.
