I am looking for something like ACDC or Thumbsplus
to browse the contents of a folder with 3D files and
to show a preview of them.
It should support 3DS, .obj, .dae, .dxf, .b3d etc.
Is there something out there?

not sure about for free but deep exploration supports most common intermediate formats.

does images and things too.

Hi Volker For Windows? If so:

You could try assimp viewer http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=226462&package_id=274041

You need the latest DirectX (d3dx_39.dll I think) to run it.

It doesn't have the latest fixes for the b3d format, so it will crash on some b3ds.

@Adrian
Wow, very expensive..

Hi Peter,

nice to meet you here :-)
I' ve written a small viewer around your assimp example.
Download Viewer
It fits my needs to get a fast overview over 3D models.
I was thinking about adding a few features and opening
it for the public if there is any interest..
With the assimp viewer one needs to open every file, nothing
for lazy people like me.

Hi Volker.

Great to see the lib in use.
If you want, I'll upload the source to the repository.

I just committed a new version, with some fixes, and some new features in the works see: http://blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=82586#932179

I had just made a slideshow function for the showall examaple too :-)

No need for it a the moment, thanks. Your function aiLoadMiniB3D is all I need :-)

Compiling is just finished. I'll take a look.
