About the project

Fast minimalist 3D viewer supporting glTF, USD, STL, STEP, PLY, OBJ, FBX and Alembic, controllable from the command line and config files. Also ships libf3d with C++, C, Python, Java and JavaScript bindings.

Useful for
  • Open an STL or glTF model from the terminal and save the render to PNG
  • Batch-generate thumbnail previews for a 3D model catalog
  • Embed libf3d in a C++ or Python app to display meshes

2.3 Breakout Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 13, 2026, 11:54 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

01530July 16, 2026October 13, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-13 (UTC), 10:53–11:45: 4795 → 4795 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +7 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 2 per day.
  • GitHub Trending C++ today: #6, +23 stars.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 48. +200% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
