glTFast (Apache-2.0; Unity 6000.0+) claims full glTF 2.0 core support with minor remarks: sparse accessors only for morph targets and vertex positions, up to eight UV sets imported but only two used by its shaders, animation via the legacy system (Mecanim clips import unassigned; Playables removed because SetCurve works only for legacy clips at runtime), clearcoat partial in URP, full in HDRP and absent in Built-In, DOTS experimental. Known issues from Unity API limits: duplicated shared accessors/images, minFilter overriding magFilter and NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR falling back to NEAREST.

Curator qualifications: Docs read 2026-10-22; no glTF imported. Vendor self-description; no import run. Limitations: Docs read 2026-10-22; no glTF imported. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
