The #F3D talk at #FOSDEM woke me up better than any coffee could; there are great possibilities for @manyfold.

Cam Pedersen just released a small rust library to programatically create CAD models campedersen.com/vcad #vcad

I asked gemini to use #f3d to generate screenshots of the result, and tasked it to create a 3D model of a 'square-ish basket', looking at the vcad README for examples. The first output was not great, with flying handles, etc., so I said "look at the picture, and check what is wrong". It figured out the issues, and generated this.

Next: "build a complete robot for me, pretty please!"

F3D 3.4.1 just released!

F3D is a fast and minimalist 3D viewer/renderer which support many formats (gltf, usd, fbx, abc) and tons of options!

In 3.4.1 we improved ⚗️ Alembic support (xForm and Curves support) and shipped 🇨 C bindings!

We also have dozen of examples usage of the libf3d, including C, Java, Qt, QML, FLTK and so on!

Please check it out!

F3D is now sponsoring some of the projects we rely on!

⛴️ Exhibit: 5$/month: Because we love that Nokse is sharing F3D with other communities! (https://github.com/Nokse22)

🖼️ Dear ImGui: 4$/month: Because without it we would not have a nice UI (https://lnkd.in/ez4KYheh)

⚙️ nlohmanjson: 1$/month: Because json parsing is essential in F3D design (https://lnkd.in/egq73YpD)

Please do not forget to sponsor the tools you use, this is how open source project thrive! 🙂
