I like F3D, but it really struggles loading large files and there is no feedback to tell you it is loading.
It would also be cool if it offered conversions between formats (as it clearly demonstrates the ability to take some file and render it, it should be able to reverse that operation in most cases too).
I never knew about the bindings, it may be cool to experiment with some procedurally generated models, or using some form of network model to produce 3D models. I remember from quite some time ago that would procedurally generate star ships [1].

- GlowOnDub 3y agoThere 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.
- spookie 3y agoReading is one thing, making the other format use as many features as the original where possible, is another. It's understandable, but one always has meshlab for that :)
- bArray 3y agoI recently had the problem of trying to convert STL to STEP (3D printing vs CNC), but made no progress with this. Is something like MeshLab suitable for this? If I can't find a solution I may just end up writing a tool to do the conversion for me...
- spookie 3y agoYou know, I had the same issue this weekend. Err... in reverse. But, I just remembered your reply and you might find this website useful : http://www.subdude-site.com/WebPages_Local/RefInfo/Computer/Linux/LinuxGuidesByBlaze/apps3Dtools/3D_viewers-converters/3DviewersANDconverters_intro.htm http://www.subdude-site.com/WebPages_Local/RefInfo/Computer/...
