๐Ÿ”ซ๐Ÿ•บ Who would have guessed that adding support for the original Quake models to F3D would be that fun ?

Anyway, F3D 3.1.0 just released and there are a lot of new things, including QuakeMDL support, supersampling antialiasing and much more!

What a feeling you get when someone take the time to create and post a video about the tool you created!

Both are using VTK, so that's ok :)

What about exporting to gltf ?

Yes, it gets a bit verbosy but cleaning it up manually is fairly easy :)

I was looking for a better 3d viewer to see more easily what's inside a file and came across this. It even generates little thumbnails which makes it super convenient to browse things.

You may want to update to 2.5.0, its our last release.
Also reuploading our own binary is definitely not needed, you could just link our website :)

HIGHLY recommend F3D if you work with 3D models in any capacity.

It's a Windows/Mac/Linux super minimalist fast 3D file viewer, supporting a huge number of file formats. FBX, STL, GTLF, GLB, DAE, OBJ... you name it!
