Adding new models

1. Finding a model

2. Simplifying polygons and converting to GLTF

Use Blender to reduce polygon count and export as GLTF

1. Hit wrench icon on model to access modifiers
2. Add the Decimate modifer to reduce polygon account
3. Export
   • Make sure scale is 1
   • Object is close to origin
   • Modifiers are all applied

        <meshStandardMaterial>
            <canvasTexture attach="map" image={props.skinRef?.current}/>
        </meshStandardMaterial>
      </mesh>
