The latest version offers a few GLB export improvements.
Morph targets
Morph targets are now exported.
Morph targets are mostly used for changing facial expressions. The avatars generated by Ready Player Me offer a huge collection of morph targets:
blufftitler.readyplayer.me
More info in the user guide:
outerspace-software.com...
Robotic arm layer
The robotic arm layer can now be exported as an animated model.
Here's how that looks like on Sketchfab:
sketchfab.com...
Optimization
Unnecessary keyframes are now removed resulting in smaller GLB files.
Unused morph targets are not yet removed. Not sure if this is desirable.
Node hierarchy
Everything is now a child of a "BluffTitler Show" node and every layer has its own container node.
In the top right of the above screenshot you can see how this looks like in Blender. This makes it easier to map the GLB node structure to the BT layer structure.
Bug fixes
Models using multiple meshes per node are now correctly exported. Blender sometimes generates such models.
Models using colour per vertex are now correctly exported. Here's an example of such a model:
sketchfab.com...
Models using sparse accessors are now correctly imported. This a rarely used technique that the GLB format uses to compress morph target data. To improve compatibility, this compression is not applied in the exported GLB file.
Thank you
Thank you all for your test models, test shows and other feedback!
Download
As always, the latest version can be downloaded from the download page:

Fantastic, thank you!
It is expected that the export of the hand layer will be included in a later update?

Thank you all!
LostBoyz, I would use a model layer with a hand model:

Sjoji, this looks like a morph target: animate the MX prop:

Thank you Michiel!
But the BluffTitler hand is much more unique and better 🤗
So this is not expected in the next update?
