Description
GLTF/GLB exporter fails when --texturing-single-material is enabled
Internally, the gltf export step relies on a proper textured mesh, and when single-material is active, the way materials are combined break compatibility with the GLTF export step.
As a result, the GLTF generation step silently fails or is skipped — you get no .glb file.

Research direction
Reproduce the ODM export with --texturing-single-material enabled and inspect the GLTF/GLB export pipeline. Confirm the material-combination path remains compatible with GLTF export and that the run produces a .glb file; linked pull request #1906 is already addressing this issue.
