Hello,  
I have a textured GLTF file but I can’t see the texture as in the [https://gltf-viewer.donmccurdy.com/](https://gltf-viewer.donmccurdy.com/) viewer  
Is there a way to do it ?

You have to load the Texture in the dedicated texture combobox in ParaView.

Alternatively, use a tool like [F3D](https://kitware.github.io/F3D/)

@frank_forster What you’re showing isn’t where textures appear. Look in the property inspector tab for the “Texture” setting. It will allow you to load a file. The “Texture Coordinates” setting lets you choose “TEXCOORD\_0” as the texture coordinates.

Hi again @dcthomp,  
Have you any idea why one of these files propose to load texture (Yes.gml) whereas the other don’t (No.gml) ? The one that works propose to load texture at LOD 2

[No.gml](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/wTOrQczs94tRUeMwOSruCC5jp68.gml) (897.9 KB)  
[Yes.gml](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/A7NBNJqxKLmj3B6e7rFcqXoLAZw.gml) (1.2 MB)

None of these .gml can be used as textures, you need to export your texture to an image format, png or jpg.
