## 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

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-13 (UTC), 10:53–12:32: 4795 → 4798 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +11 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.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
