The Load3D node is a core node for loading and processing 3D model files. When loading the node, it automatically retrieves available 3D resources from ComfyUI/input/3d/. You can also upload supported 3D files for preview using the upload function.

Supported Formats Currently, this node supports multiple 3D file formats, including .gltf, .glb, .obj, .fbx, and .stl.

3D Node Preferences Some related preferences for 3D nodes can be configured in ComfyUI’s settings menu. Please refer to the following documentation for corresponding settings:

Settings Menu - 3D

Besides regular node outputs, Load3D has lots of 3D view-related settings in the canvas menu.

Canvas Area Description

The Load3D node’s Canvas area contains numerous view operations, including:

  • Preview view settings (grid, background color, preview view)
  • Camera control: Control FOV, camera type
  • Global illumination intensity: Adjust lighting intensity
  • Video recording: Record and export videos
  • Model export: Supports GLB, OBJ, STL formats
  • And more
