      Now does this mean that we'll have to always use this bought materials or can we somehow make them ourselves... maybe make the base skm and send them your way for finishing magic would also be nice?

      that's up for discussion/debate. the purpose is to make presenting your models as easy as possible. Paint in SU see magic in viewer. How it evolves afterwards is certainly dependant on its user base.

      Now another issue: My lines are not antialiased but I might have messed my GPU settings for speed. Is this related to my system or is this being shown like this to everyone?

      there is a scaling issue we have yet to address for the viewer

      The fullscreen icon can be confused with zoom extents and the playback button means what exactly? Zoom extents? It feels it has a different behaviour everytime I try it, probably because I didn't yet understood what to expect.

      go knock yourself out and find something you like.... 👍

      @jql said:

      The new gif is more related to the rest, but could be the size of the other icons? maybe in the end of the menu, justified right, instead of the old center thing we're all so used to?

      will look at it.

      Black background doesn't look that good with that red icons.

      Background is user defined, as is the lighting and specularity.

              Really like this one.......

              I have to ask what software was used to create the figure and what format is it when you bring it into SU?

              Really like what I have been seeing. Loading time has improved a lot.

                    hi rich

                    what about clay mode when viewing geometry?

                        I think the advantage of allowing users to be able to control highlights make for interesting results

                        We'll also have presets that you can apply to multiple materials at once.

                          This is getting very sophisticated while looking very simple. I like it a lot!

                          Does it mean we are able to choose the icons we want? That is unbelievable! I can already imagine embeding a 3d model of every project I have on my site!

                          Can we develop our own icons if we would like to?

                          Some more notes:

                          Now, when I click on the right button the model pan is much nicer but when I release it, this message shows up everytime (After a while it says I can disable it but I will not if you think this can be fixed.):

                          Untitled.png

                          EDIT: This is what color edges by material looks like when used nicely? Congratulations on this one Rich!

                            No, you can't add your own icons.

                            I was saying that we use FontAwesome to deliver icons. If you can find icons that better represent the function then we can change them.

                            But we will likely move to our own icon set.

                            Re: Right Click

                            That is there because we had a feature that allowed you to use keys, M = move, O= orbit etc..., to make viewing less click related.

                            If you wanna test it let me know. We get you set up.

                                          Had some intermittent problems with the zoom on this one.

                                          Not sure if you mean to support the mouse wheel for zooming but it presented some erratic results. Also had some problems after clicking on the zoom icon. At times I had to move the mouse clear off to the side then approach it from the bottom of the image to get control of the zoom.

                                          Not sure if this is something you are addressing at this point. If not, just ignore the post.

                                          I do see other improvements though. In particular, after I click on the image and it is loaded in 3d view mode, it displays the image in its full color instead of the black image I was seeing before.

                                          Looking forward to the progress on this viewer........

                                            Thanks Dave.

                                            Currently we need to decide object scale on load. We don't factor that at the moment.

                                            It will be fixed
