Issues Importing GLTF when it worked fine like a week or so ago

Last week I took this GLTF file from Envato elements https://elements.envato.com/3d-golf-illustration-AK77GX7 and dragged it raw into my After Effects project with no issue!!! fast forward to this week, I tried to import this GLTF into After effects https://elements.envato.com/sport-3d-illustration-RR3ZXUY and it told me "After effects error: could not load". Why not? Whats the difference between this GLTF and the other? Does it accept some GLTF files but not others?

 

UPDATE: private message from adobe stated "One thing I'm noticing is that there are no related files for the .objs or the .gltfs. Objs need an .mtl file and a folder of textures (pngs or jpegs) to map to and gltf files typicapply have a .bin file and a folder full of textures to map to."

I could've swore that I was able to bring in raw STL files to After Effects a few months ago and use them as 3d models (they were flat and had no color but it was an interesting prospect). When I tried again just now, it didnt work.

Hi @rachelcenter, 

You can Direct Message me on this platform. 🙂 
You can zip the files to upload them if the file format is not accepted. 

 

Thank you so much,

Hi @rachelcenter, 

 

Can you please send me the models? There may be something missing or corrupt in the model that fails or we may be handling things incorrectly. 
Are you trying to load the model from a local drive or a cloud-based folder?  

Can you also please share your System Specs and what version of AE you are using? 

 

Thanks,

Dacia
