Based on my prior research I'm pretty sure GLTF support -- a well-supported modern format that allows textures -- is not a huge amount of work to add. Mostly needs cleanup of the old code & updating dependencies, and adding appropriate validation.

I am planning to get to that this year, after we wrap up some more improvements to audio/video making sure we can update the thumbnailing system; but I don't know if we'll be able to squeeze any other 3d-specific features in yet.

Yes, specifically the formats that support textures. There is a ticket list in phab: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/ZgJlL4Jm.OCj/#R

Does that include making 3D models usable in our wikis? If there are planned projects related to that in this fiscal year, would it be possible to get a link to the project page?
