Description

Description:
I am trying to load a .glb in aframe, but it seems only the edges are rendered (see the Glitch):

However, if I open the same model in gltf-viewer, it renders well:

For information, it's a .fbx animated model from mixamo.com converted in .glb using FBX2glTF. You can download it here.But as it works well on gltf-viewer, I assume it should be fine in aframe.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the linked Glitch in Firefox on Ubuntu with A-Frame 0.8.2 and the provided Sitting.glb, then compare its rendering with gltf-viewer. Trace the GLTF loading and rendering path to determine why only edges appear; done means the model surfaces render correctly in the reported setup.
