i never even used that feature until yesterday, but had to look through dozens of randomly named ID tagged assets to find a specific one. not gonna import them all into some software...
FBX has security vulnerabilities from what I learned, and it's not easily sandboxed by the preview window. glTF has a lot of support, better material handling, no vulnerability to script injection etc., and has a much cleaner spec so it's easier to add to tools and renderers. I'm involved in weekly conference calls on…
"GLB (Binary GL Transmission Format) is the recommended substitute 3D file format for use in 3D Viewer." Ok, that's really helpful. Lets just like ... convert all the assets into something else like this standard decided on by a committee that nobody seems to be using/defaulting to. I suppose at least this way you can be…
Same here. I don't find quick previews of 3d scenes particularly helpful for what I do plus there's the chance that a complex file loads so slow or perhaps not at all that you may as well fire up the DCC to inspect it properly. But I do find it funny that they would disable FBX support and instead try to force this format…
it works on.obj. You can even import it into Paint3d for some extremely rudimentary polypainting. It seems the creators update is required for all this.
well i'm not running W10 but if i did, that would be the first thing to try. :) would not want explorer to lock up or crash or eat all my memory for breakfast because i just touched some humongous file by accident, triggering the preview.
For me, closing the explorer window fixes it. The explorer process isn't the one that seems to handle the loading. It's the "Preview Handler Surrogate Host" process that eats up all the CPU (on my computer, at least) and deals with the preview. And closing explorer seems to make it cease more or less immediately.
Indeed, just saw that OSX does it with DAE, of all things ! It certainly is pretty cool, but I can't even begin to imagine what would happen if an OS attempts to autoload a 2gig OBJ sculpt ... I guess it's just a matter of having a data cap - like not auto loading if a file is over 500mb for instance.
quite nice at first time, but honestly do not use that win 10 preview , the processes behind the feature will hang on and will drive your cpu to run at 99% just because a file can't to get read, or the version of the file isn't compatible, or again because the file is too big and the app can't to handle the preview. after…
