Anyone know of a good model viewer?

Boozebeard

I just purchased a couple of body scans on Ten24 to use as reference and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good, simple model viewer? Something that I could leave open on my other screen when working in zbrush, that wouldn't be as cluttered or as much of a resource hog as a using a full modelling package.

Thanks

Ah, I was thinking of using marmoset but I don't have a license at the moment, was wondering if there wasn't something basic but free that was decent.

I tried this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/objmodelviewer/

but it rotating and zooming was very clunky.

I was thinking sketchfab might work but that would probably break my licensing terms...

Edit: I just bit the bullet and bought a marmoset license, was gonna get it eventually anyway.

What format are those models? If they're FBX there's an FBX viewer by Autodesk that we have at work (though almost never use it). Maybe that could come in handy?

Edit: I see you got Marmoset. Best decision!

marmoset is a bit of a resource hog, isn't it? at least the 1.x i am using makes my gfx card spin up noticeably. perhaps turning down post-processing and sticking to simple shaders solves that though.

if it's the same case for you, have a look at point cloud viewers, that's the type you usually use with scan data. http://www.my3dscanner.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=3:free-point-cloud-viewers&Itemid=73

Meshlab has tools specifically for cleaning and lowering counts on scan data.

Marmoset was pretty much completely rewritten for version 2. Most people can load up models with millions of polygons without issue.

grab the fbx viewer from autodesk, it comes with a converter. works great. it's free, so it's autodesk's best product.
