Showcase
As you'll notice in the videos below, Blaze3D is very fast and supports many workflows for viewing your files.
Running from console
You can view your model by calling: blaze3d
Or an entire folder via: blaze3d folder
Drag&Drop support
You can drop any supported model or folder on the already opened window
Stream loading
Get instant visual feedback even before loading is done
Folder traversal
You can traverse the currently opened folder with the arrow keys
Folder view
You can view all models within a folder and use Blaze3D like any other file browser
Colored point shading
Point data is always shaded colorized. This makes it easy to understand even complex 3D models
Camera controls
Move, rotate and zoom are fully supported

Blaze3D Lite (Steam Demo) and Blaze3D Pro (Steam Buy)
.stl both binary and ASCII

Editions
Blaze3D is available as free Lite (Steam Demo) and paid Pro (Steam Buy) edition. The Pro edition supports additional file formats.
High efficiency
Blaze3D causes no CPU usage when idle and uses very little memory (if double_buffer_data is turned off). Saving power and allowing you to work on other tasks in parallel. Incremental rendering of point clouds is also supported. This makes it possible to render very large point clouds that do not fit into your GPU's memory.
Active development
Blaze3D is in active development and will further improve in the future. Feature requests and bug reports are very welcome.
