Machine model
A little machinery behind this page: 3D scan, photo and video.
What loaded

3D scans
Most 3D views come from photogrammetry: photos turned into a textured mesh. The page starts from a saved camera angle so the object opens in a readable pose.
The first look, normal model, and heavier files are separate. Texture labels only appear when that format is actually published.
glTF and GLB · KTX2 textures
Photos
Small first. Sharper AVIF, WebP, or JPEG when the browser and screen can use them.
The fallback is just an image. That is the point.
AVIF · WebP · JPEG
Videos
The standard path is MP4 because it works almost everywhere. Some posts also have adaptive playback when you want the heavier route.
A poster keeps browsing light. Opening the video is the signal to spend more bytes.
HLS · MPEG-DASH
Why choices exist
One file does not fit every screen and connection. Browse stays light; inspect spends more when you ask.
