# glTF Resources

> **For users.** A curated collection of external links (models, HDRIs, specifications, and tools) to support work with the glTF 3D file format — a starting point for exploring and using glTF assets.


## glTF Models

* **Models downloadable from CMake's "Configure" action** : Look into `CMakeLists.txt`, in the "*Adding download resources*" section : you can uncomment models we provided for our samples. They will be downloaded into the *_downloaded_resources* folder.
