src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/f3d-app/f3d/master/resources/logo.svg\" align=\"left\" width=\"20px\"/\u003e\nF3D (pronounced `/fɛd/`) is a fast and minimalist 3D viewer desktop application. It supports many file formats, from digital content to scientific datasets (including glTF, USD, STL, STEP, PLY, OBJ, FBX, Alembic), can show animations and support thumbnails and many rendering and texturing options including real time physically based rendering and raytracing.\n\u003cbr clear=\"left\"/\u003e\n\nIt is fully controllable from the command line and support configuration files. It can provide thumbnails, support interactive hotkeys, drag\u0026drop and integration into file managers.\n\nF3D also contains the libf3d, a simple library to render meshes, with a C++17 API, C, Python, Java and Javascript Bindings.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/f3d-app/f3d-website/refs/heads/main/static/images/typical.png\" width=\"640\" /\u003e\n\n_A typical render by F3D_\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3129530/194735261-dd6f1c1c-fa57-47b0-9d27-f735d18ccd5e.gif\" width=\"640\" /\u003e\n\n_Animation of a glTF file within F3D_\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/f3d-app/f3d-website/refs/heads/main/static/images/directScalars.png\" width=\"640\" /\u003e\n\n_A direct scalars render by F3D_\n\nSee the [gallery](https://f3d.app/gallery) for more images, take a look at the [changelog](doc/CHANGELOG.md) or go to the [download page](https://f3d.app/download) to download and install F3D!\n\nYou can even use F3D directly in your [browser](https://f3d.app/viewer)!\n\nIf you need any help or want to discuss with other F3D users and developers, head over to our [discord](https://discord.f3d.app).\n\n# Quickstart\n\nOpen a file directly in F3D or from the command line by running:\n\n```\nf3d /path/to/file.ext\n```\n\nOptionally, append `--output=/path/to/img.png` to save the rendering into an image file.\n\nSee the [Quickstart Guide](doc/user/01-QUICKSTART.md) for more information about getting started with F3D.\n\n# Documentation\n\n- To get started, please take a look at the [user documentation](doc/user/01-QUICKSTART.md).\n- If you need any help, are looking for a feature or found a bug, please open an [issue](https://github.com/f3d-app/f3d/issues).\n- If you want to use the libf3d, please take a look at its [documentation](doc/libf3d/01-OVERVIEW.md).\n- If you want to build F3D, please take a look at the [contribution guide](CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\n# Support\n\nF3D needs your help!\n\nIf you can, please consider sponsoring F3D. Even a small donation would help us offset the recurring maintenance costs.\nWith enough sponsors we would be able to make F3D grow faster and stronger! Read more about it [here](https://f3d.app/thanks).\n\nIf you are an industry user of F3D and want to make sure it can keep growing and being maintained, [please reach out](https://f3d.app/thanks)!\n\nIn any case, please star it on github and share the word about it!\n\n## Sponsors\n\nMany thanks to our sponsors for supporting F3D\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://nlnet.nl/project/F3D/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://nlnet.nl/image/logos/NGI0Core_tag.svg\" height=\"45\"/\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.testmuai.com/?utm_medium=sponsor\u0026utm_source=f3d-app\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://f3d.app/assets/images/testmu-ee484398e4f0ff464fd5c8a24ad92e89.png\" height=\"45\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.opendronemap.org/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://f3d.app/assets/images/opendronemap-95d4ad6e24c091a06ec00e1828e1eb38.png\" height=\"45\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\n# Vision\n\nAs a minimalist 3D viewer F3D aims to:\n\n- Support as many 3D file formats as possible\n- Support many types of renderings (textures, edges, etc... ) and visualizations (meshes, volumic, point sprites)\n- Support any and all use-cases dealing with 3D datasets\n- Let any user easily and quickly view any model with good defaults\n- Be as configurable as possible\n- Be fully controllable from the command line and configuration file\n- Be usable non-interactively\n- Be as modular as possible to be built with a small number of dependencies\n\nbut there is no plan to:\n\n- Provide a classic mouse-based UI, with menus and buttons\n- Provide data processing tools\n- Provide export feature\n\n# Contributing\n\nF3D is a community-driven, inclusive and beginner-friendly project. We love to see how the project is growing thanks to the contributions from the community. We would love to see your face in the list below! If you want to contribute to F3D, you are very welcome to!
