GLB to FiveM

Turn a 3D model you already have into a FiveM prop: model, textures, collision and type file in one ready resource.

What GLB to FiveM does

GLB to FiveM takes a 3D model you already have and builds the files a FiveM server streams to its players. You get a prop that can be spawned from a script, placed in a map or used in other resources.

A workbench model after the conversion, in the 3D editor of Assets.

  • .ydr

    The model the game draws.

  • .ytd

    The textures, compressed for GTA V.

  • .ybn

    The collision, so players and vehicles bump into the prop.

  • .ytyp

    The type file that tells the game the model name and its size.

The result is always a prop: an object that stands still or is attached to something. A model does not become clothing, a vehicle or a character. For uniforms, use the EUP Maker.

Two ways to convert

  • Account

    Free converter page:Not needed

  • Settings

    Free converter page:Fixed
    Assets, with an account:Usage, Low poly, texture size, packaging

  • After the conversion

    Free converter page:Download the zip
    Assets, with an account:The 3D editor with free rebuilds, and a list of all your props

  • Limit

The free page is at GLB to FiveM. In the app, open Assets, then New asset and choose Upload a model.

Files it takes

  • GLB, glTF

    Up to:50 MB
    Note:Best choice. Model, materials and textures in one file.

  • FBX

    Up to:100 MB
    Note:Works when the textures are embedded in the file.

  • OBJ

    Up to:50 MB
    Note:Put it in a ZIP with its MTL and image files.

  • USD, USDC, USDZ

    Up to:100 MB
    Note:USDA: 50 MB.

  • DAE

    Up to:50 MB
    Note:Collada, from most 3D programs.

  • STL, PLY

    Up to:50 MB
    Note:Shape only. STL carries no colours or textures.

  • ZIP

    Up to:100 MB
    Note:A model with the files it needs. See ZIP bundles.

Blender files (.blend) are not accepted. Export the model from Blender as GLB first, see export settings.

What you download

Every conversion downloads as one zip. These are the files of a real conversion of a model called workbench:

  • fxmanifest.lua

    The resource manifest. It registers the YTYP and streams everything in the stream folder.

  • stream/

    workbench.ydr, workbench.ytd, workbench.ytyp and workbench_col.ybn.

  • workbench.glb

    The model as GLB, for Blender or other tools. Not needed on the server.

The zip has no outer folder, so you make one when you install it. With Single YDR packaging in Assets, the stream folder holds only the YDR and the YTYP. See Packaging.

Keep the YTYP

The YTYP is what makes the model name known to the game. Without it the prop does not load, even if the YDR is there.

What it costs

Converting a model is free, on the free page and in Assets. The dialog in Assets shows Free conversion where other builds show a price. Fixing the prop in the editor afterwards and rebuilding it is free too.

Making a prop from a photo instead of a model is a different tool with its own prices: the 3D Generator.

Next steps

Your first conversion

Six steps from a model file to a prop on your server.

Preparing your model

Size, textures and triangles, so the conversion works first time.

Convert without an account, and its limits.
