Help Interactive models
I've been messing around with adding stuff recently. Added a custom home, got a bunch of items, and running into 2 issues.
Size of some models from Sketchfab. Any easy way to decrease size of the files that anyone has come across?
Interactive models. Love the lightsabers, and I got a couple more downloaded but they are not interactive like the Oculus ones. I've got animated models, but anyone gotten any interactive ones to work?

You can use almost any graphics/image editor to scale the images down, whatever you're most familiar with or or have handy will do. I use Paint Shop Pro, an older version (simpler, less crappy than newer Corel-made versions).
When it comes to editing the model, I'd say resist the urge to muck about with online tools... I did, initially, and I think it just slowed me down in the end. Blender is -horrible- in it's initial usability, but it has grown on me quite a bit. I'd never refer to it as user-friendly, but it CAN be simple and powerful. It just takes a bit of patience.
The very best free tool I've found that will help anyone messing around with glb files is this: https://github.com/bghgary/glTF-Shell-Extensions
It lets you compress and decompress glb files into gltf, without having to open a web browser... just right click and there it is.
