We just release F3D 4.0.0, fast and minimalist 3D viewer. Obviously free and open source

One of the key new feature is the support for .FCStd files! Quickly browse through your FreeCAD files effortlessly, generate thumbnails in your file browser as well.

https://github.com/f3d-app/f3d/releases/tag/v4.0.0

You can even open them on your web broswer right here:

https://f3d.app/viewer

Let us know what you think!

F3D, open source 3D viewer just released v3.5.0 whichs add .ifc, .laz, .las, .exr, .hdr support, and much more!

We just added C bindings to the libf3d for interoperability, its actually fairly easy to use and someone from the Julia community already made Julia bindings on top of it.

What do you think ? Could it be improved ?

We just released a npm package to view any 3d model in the browser, supports fbx, step, gltf, obj, stl and more.

F3D, fast and minimalist open source 3D viewer added support for .ply, .spz and spherical harmonics.

Hi devs!

I'm the maintainer of a relatively sucessful cross platform open source 3D viewer. We have had long standing macOS and Windows related issues and features that we have been struggling to adress in the past few years.

We got an european funding last year and we think that adding bounties on these issues may be a way forward.

So, if you are: - Interested by contributing to a awesome (not biased here :p ) open source projects - Knowledgeable in C++ macOS or Windoes API - Potentially motivated by small bounties

Then please join the project! I'd be happy to show you the ropes and I'm sure your skills will be up to the task!

Please note bounties can only be claimed once you are active in the project.

I've been working on this open source 3D viewer and we just release a new version which supports QuakeMDL format, the OG format of Quake models!

We juste released F3D 3.0.0, which now support armature rendering!

Hi there!

We just released F3D 2.5.0 and the main new feature is the Web version. Check it out: https://f3d.app/web

F3D is a fast and minimalist opensource 3D viewer: https://github.com/f3d-app/f3d

F3D, a 3D viewer I'm working on just added support for native 3D gaussian splatting.

You can just open and view your .splat files out of the box.

Thanks for sharing the word!

F3D is a small and minimalist open source 3D viewer. We just added support for USD, VDB and 3MF format!

It lets you take a quick look at your data and can even generate thumbnails. Let us know what you think!

You mean the thumbnails ? Well they need to be created.

By default ?

You are absolved of your sins :)

Definitely look like a bug! Could you report it: https://github.com/f3d-app/f3d/issues ?

Regarding the error, you are correct, we have not implemented a log dialog. We plan to improve that in the future but its not a small work: https://github.com/f3d-app/f3d/issues/29

We are working on it!

You need to disable sip, our binary is not signed yet, sorry about that.

There is a link top right on our website

Yes, the egl version should provide thumbnails!

Do not hesitate to reach out on discord or GitHub for help.

We will!

The brew package probably does not contain all dependencies. You will need to ask the brew packager about it.

You could just download the binary we distribute instead: https://f3d.app/doc/user/INSTALLATION.html

> How does the performance of F3D compare to say rendering the same object in Unreal Engine’s static mesh viewer?

Hard to say since I never used UE static mesh viewer, but if you test it I would apreciate a feedback!

> Could I use F3D as the rendering engine for a game?

Not really. F3D rely on VTK for rendering, which is definitely not a game rendering engine.

That being said, you can easily render 2D sprite for your games by scripting F3D.

There should be a progress bar showing on the bottom, if there is not, this is a bug and it would be nice of you to report it :).

Large file can take some time but should be loaded at some point, but indeed, no more feedback but the progress bar.

Conversions are hard because you need not only a reader, but a writer too, and they should all be implemented. That being said, I think it would be cool to have another project based on the libf3d trying to go in this direction. It will not be in F3D though.

Thanks!

We did not focus on legacy proprietary format though, but many modern formats are supported.

Exactly, F3D also supports generating thumbnails!

Yes! We are working on it! Please join the discord if you want to contribute to it.

F3D rely on OCCT to open STEP and IGES file, just try it :)

Then download and install F3D instead :)

Yes!
