I often capture quick "guerrilla" photogrammetry as I walk through life - rocks that look neat, flowers in bloom, a sand castle from the beach... Until now my model files have lived in a sad forgotten folder on my hard drive, opened occasionally but never really presented. Unity3D made the process of building a VR gallery possible, but was nonetheless a rather manual process. This VR Model Viewer application has been what I've been in search of for quite awhile. Have you ever wanted to collect all of your favorite world war two models in a single room? Have a product that needs a virtual floor demo? Virtual museums and academic narratives? Collection building? You can do all of that here. Perhaps best of all, the dev is extremely approachable and receptive to suggestion. All in all, yes, the idea of this app is a simple one but I've not yet seen an object viewer this powerful and well-presented. It's clear that this will be an indispensable utility for viewing and creating galleries o...

The ammount of patches and request the developer takes seriously from there customers makes this app one of the best for vr i have ever seen. Really Cool Software. I love having the ability to seamlesly import models with there textures pre applied! BIG Plus. Would Like: 1. Animated water/trees so that we can animate water in a scene or objects like trees for example. This software has lots of potentual to even be a epic world creator! Dont let it go to waste! 2. Sharing of scenes with models to other users! Imagine being able to be inside someone else work! 3. Multiplayer Support Sharing the experience. This is by FAR the easiest way to view models ever in VR. The Developer has fixed the major concerns of the program that was making the experience unpleasent theafore i now fully recommend the program!
TLDR: Great software if you're a maker who wants to be able to visualize projects before going to print. Probably lacks the fine-grained measuring capabilities that a real engineer would need. But it's going to be fantastic for demoing prototypes. I have a decent Steam library, but this is probably the only title that will make my life easier. Several hours of my life that I'll never get back. But in a good way. For me, this started as an exercise in procrastination. I was tasked with adding an extension to a greenhouse and wanted to sketch it out in CAD. Since my HOA enjoys picking every nit they can find, I wanted to make sure that it was aesthetically pleasing. So, hey, $10. Impulse buy. I'm quarantined and figured the software would, at a minimum, net a few hours of fun. Caveat: I'm using this on an OG Rift. I want now, more than ever to get an Index, but the global pandemic seems to be making that increasingly unlikely. First off, "Model Viewer" is a bit of a misnomer. I would...
The concept is good, but the execution is lacking. I'm attempting to use this to view a room model I've built in Fusion 360. You'd think that between the 2 tools, I could get a model across that has textures, but there doesn't seem to be a combination of formats which will do that. Additionally, I'm working in imperial (not ideal, but not exactly unexpected) and the units don't port. So, everything that's 1 foot in Fusion 360 is 1 meter in VR. I can scale to a specific factor, which helps, but if I try to use one of the pre-existing scale factors (1/10th, 1/100th, whatever) poof! The model disappears. Finally, the only light source I can find is a flashlight. Documentation in game does say that additional lighting is coming, but it isn't there yet. There's still a lot of work to be done. I wouldn't spend any money on this until it's in a better state.
This needs a great deal of polish on the interface, but for this money I'm blown away at the amount of features. I've previously tried to develop something like this for my company and never finished it due to time constraints. I'm a mechanical engineer, and I use professional grade CAD. It's unfortunate this only supports basic free formats, but I also understand why. My CAD tools can export some of these formats so it's no big deal. If you just want a basic VR model viewer, with all the scale and manipulation options you could need, you can't go far wrong here. I've seen far worst software costing thousands of pounds.
I had a horrible time with this. It is said to be compatible with the Rift, and that is what I have. This had a lot of options, but it does not work as described for me. It is very glitchy. I have used a few VR modeling programs, such as Medium. To me Medium is not 100% working, but it is far easier to use than this. All one is suppose to be able to do in this is open a model so you can place it to view it in VR. It should be a very simple concept to setup. But it is over complicated. The Oculus home lets you open scale rotate and place a model very simply. This should be just as simple. But it's not. Far from it. I have opened some models from it's own library, and they are extremely hard to place. It should be mad simple to do in VR. I tried out one model from it's own library, and it was stuck to my hand. I could not get it to stay put. Having to hold down two buttons to rotate a model is a joke. That was made over complicated, and didn't give me the full range of rotation I shoul...
This blew my mind! Was looking for a way to show my 3D models, well this is it!
Using on Windows Mixed Reality Steam port (16GB NVIDIA 1050 4GB) . Loads small 3mf models made with Paint3D and 3D Builder without displaying vertex colors. Attempted to load several "Agisoft photoscan" .ply mesh with no usability. Auto scale is way off (0.01 works best) and very inconsistent in loading the models (boots back to lounge without displaying). After several attempts, eventually got one model to load and display without vertex colors displaying (ply showing as stl).
I am in the process of laying out my machine shop in CAD and I was really having trouble getting a feel for how it "felt". These machines are 3000-8000 lbs, so I can't just shove them around in realty, without a lot of costs. Then I stumbled upon this gem here in steam. Export from CAD as an STL, load it in, scale it, and there it is! I have made several major layout changes and I have a pretty dang good feel for where things will be in space. My only complaint is that everything is the same shade of grey, but that is to be expected with an stl file.
A great way to display your collection of 3d models. A bit rough round the edges at the moment, and models can need a lot of pre processing (in your favourite 3D editor) before importing. Great concept, responsive developer,looking forward to seeing where this one goes.
