Release Date: Late 2013 (est)
A general-purpose 3D model viewer. Based on [Open Asset Import Library] (https://github.com/assimp/assimp), it supports reading about thirty 3D file formats, including FBX, DXF, Collada, Obj, X, PLY, 3DS, LWO, LWS, STL and IFC ([full list] (http://assimp.sourceforge.net/main_features_formats.html)).
Currently it is work in progress and there is no downloadable release yet, but the latest source versions are good for productive use. At the time being only Windows is supported even though the long-term goal is to be platform-independent (through Mono).
Some key features:
- Powerful 3D preview that leverages modern rendering and lighting technologies and thus gives a good impression of how scenes would look in a modern 3D game, or even in non-realtime renderings.
- Skeletal animation playback at arbitrary speed or single-step.
- Efficient tools to inspect the scene or parts of it. Filtering and isolating elements is made as easy as possible.
- Tabbed UI, so multiple scenes can be open at the same time
- Replace textures and fix missing paths by Drag & Drop
- Multiple viewports (up to 4) and different camera modes such as orbit cameras or even First-Person
- A multitude of texture file formats is supported through DevIL. Textures are being loaded asynchronously, so there are no extra waiting times if you only care about geometry
- Export of scenes (or parts of scenes) is supported. Output formats include Collada, PLY, STL, OBJ (as of now).
