BLEND3R is a 3D model viewer wrote with lpp-3ds fully opensource. It can be used for benchmark purposes (since BLEND3R allows also stereoscopic 3D and shows current FPS during rendering process) or just for fun.

It supports Wavefront (.obj) models but with some restrictions: only triangles primitives, materials are not supported).

User guide

How to adapt a model

To be sure your model will be compatible with BLEND3R you can use Blender to convert it into a triangles primitives one. You can follow this short tutorial to do so:

• Start Blender v.2.7.
• Remove the default cube and import your model.
• On bottom screen where you see "Default Mode", click it and select Edit Mode
• If your model is not selected, press A to select it.
• Press CTRL+T.
• Export the model as Wavefront (.obj). (Uncheck during exporting the Write Materials box).

How to use textures

You can use a texture with your model by inserting a PNG file with the same name as the model ones in the same folder (so like /model.obj and /model.png ).

Screenshots

Sometimes it will take incorrect screenshots, it is suggested to take screenshots twice when you want to use it.

They will be saved in root of SD named as blend3r_SCREENSHOT_ID.jpg.
