To give you a perspective, this is a typical medium sized scene (still stripped of all too unholy big meshes like kitchen appliances, small goodies or complicated plants (they will be taken care of and simplified in later process)) right after the export to verge. Still full of problems and about 1.7 million polys with hundreds 3dsmax Physical materials raw converted from VRay materials. This puppy gives me 290 2K baked Verge maps adding up to another 220 textures it’s straight funnel through untouched. It will need a lot of material tweaking and light baking to make it pretty. A lot of work by itself.
The export takes on my 16 cores Threadripper about 5 minutes using only ONE of the 16/32 cores. You can perhaps imagine that iterating through the whole scene with this ridiculous times is impossible.
Bin size 58.4 MB / packed 16 MB, gltf 1475 KB to 65 KB (kudos for this your packing is great)
Verge scene:

Like you see it now it’s totaling 42 MB
The goal is to get it to look as near as possible to this rendered look:

So you need to test it bit by bit, but Verge can’t export sub-scenes right now only the whole thing.
You have to split it up in multiple max files, test/export them on their own and rejoin it later. On top of changing assets, tight deadlines and customers changing the thing an a daily basis. At some point you have to iterate on the whole. Everytime waiting for 290 textures to bake in glorious 2k despite you would only need them in 256-512 at least for testing. Then post process (rescale, some color correction) all exported textures to get the whole thing down to a manageable download size and after opening also fits into an ordinary office GPU or iPad memory.
