I'm frequently working with 3D assets and occasionally I need to quickly preview the asset without opening 3D modelling or game engine software. Most commonly I work with fbx, obj, dae or gltf files.

When I had my windows machine I was using MS 3D viewer, but I don't expect that to be on linux. So I'm looking for any simple to use, quick to load software that just draws the imported model and nothing else.

Anybody knows about some?

You can use:

  • f3d but there is no FBX support for now. Install and view a file with:

    sudo apt install f3d
f3d mymodel.gltf

  • Mesh viewer

  • Meshlab

  • Open3D (very usefull and fast) (http only)

ctmviewer from the openctm-tools package supports the following formats:

  • OpenCTM (.ctm)
  • Stanford triangle format (.ply)
  • Stereolithography (.stl)
  • 3D Studio (.3ds)
  • COLLADA 1.4/1.5 (.dae)
  • Wavefront geometry file (.obj)
  • LightWave object (.lwo)
  • Geomview object file format (.off)
  • VRML 2.0 (.wrl) - export only

Additionally, ctmconv helps convert between these formats.
