I was wondering if there's a way to render the viewer but without exposing a link to the model being displayed? I'm looking into the source within a browser and there's a Is there a way to avoid that? |

Not really - think of a glTF as just like an image; there's nothing to stop anyone from downloading images from your site. You have legal protection with copyright, and you're welcome to hold back your top quality version and only show a downsampled / watermarked version on your website, just like photographers do. There are ways to make downloading your GLB slightly harder, but at the end of the day, it's all going to the GPU and can be extracted from there anyway. |

Thank you @elalish for the answer. I'm wondering then how Sketchfab does that. For example https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/drive-the-wangan-c9fada2b89cd43b99a791ef59fc7bd79 - I can't find a way to download that model. Any clues? |

I believe they do put some effort into obfuscating their 3D models, but those of us who debug GPUs can still access the data. Since it's not really secure (no DRM), we at MV don't feel it's worth the effort. But you can certainly use Sketchfab if you wan to make it harder for people. |
