\*Hello,
as i am new to both the worlds of forum as well as to ParaView’s forum I do appologise if my question is in the wrong topic or already answered.
Is it possible to already export my model to a 3d file format that can contain animation, that then can be imported into powerpoint? Seems like a great way to communicate the complex moving of a fluid in 3d-space? To my understanding the files that powerpoint supports are\* GLB and FBX.
I think a lot of people would benefit from this by bridging the gap between ParaView-wizards and the rest of the population.
Thanks!

Thank you for excellent and quick answer!
Although this is perfect for still models, it does not convey he “3d-animation“ that I’m looking for. In PowerPoint it is possible to import models that move, which i think would be perfect for the results in paraview.
Here is the powerpoint resource:

Correct, ParaView doesnt support exporting to animated gltf file yet, but I definitely could!
