App for viewing Marmoset Viewer files on iPad

Gordon Robb

I know that viewer works great on the iPad in safari etc. However, what I was thinking is I'd like to store some viewer files on my iPad, and view them without having to dl and show them in safari. Can anyone recommend any way to do that?

i've not even managed to get offline playback working on mac nor windows, seems if the file is not on a webserver it does not work here in any browser (with internet still available).

Nope. Seems there is no way to do it offine

Hey guys, this is probably going to require some sort of custom app to do. Unfortunately I don't have any updates on that front.

I understand that this thread is 2 years old but I was wondering if there is any way to run a marmoset viewer file offline on an android tablet. I found this video which demonstrates a way of achieving this on an osx system by using python to trick it into thinking it is running off a server environment but I have no idea if there is an equivalent work around for android devices.

Anither year later but i thought id pitch in and mention that since on my Windows computer i can load LOCAL mview files IN GOOGLE CHROME. I presume the problem is that mobile devices handle storage differently to computers so using a html file to open a model doesn't work. But if an app had the option to select tge mview file then jt would almost definitely work. Maybe I'll even have a go at making an apk for it. (then my fkrst app would be useful)

(also if your viewing a model online on a computer and want to download it, before pressing the play button, hit ctr + s and save the html, then replace html at the end of the url with mview and in most cases you get the mview file)

Welp i just spent 2 hours and have no idea what I'm doing but i think it's definitely possible, either as an app or evwn as a modified html file, with an input option added to a normal marmoset model's html

Heres the like for the marmoset script that's inside the html's

Good luck to whoever finds this thread, or actually manages to do it in the future

Actually... I just did a test and it turns out that a html file can open an mview file in firefox on mobile devices (I'm on android) 
So presumably, if i edited the html to have a different filename to load, and put the mview and html giles in the same folder, it should load the new mview file instead

You can view your portfolio offline, including Marmoset Viewer files, with ArtStation's app: https://magazine.artstation.com/2019/03/offline-portfolio/

Just got the app, made an account, and found out that they're just embedding the models like i suggested. Plus you can't use mview files like this thread is about.
