### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing and needs some cool upgrades

*2024-11-11*

Id like to say this app is amazing it’s great for viewing models!!
But I recently encountered an issue when ever I import a file (specifically a .fbx file) but it doesn’t work when it used to work before 
Whats more weirder the fbx model file that comes with the app actually works but others I’ve tried doesn’t work I’d like for that to be fixed please

**Developer response:** Thanks for your comment. A new version with the fix is on the way

### 2/5 — Can’t play animation

*2024-07-03, version 2.5.5*

I have fbx model with animation applied.. the animation apear on the tools but it can’t be play.. when i play it, nothing happened.. the model also didn’t show the bones.. only mesh with texture

### 5/5 — Addon

*2024-04-15*

Great underrated app. I would suggest having an option to add camera as well as import multiple objects in scene. For instance, if I want my character to be sitting on a couch, I wouldn’t be able to do it with this app. I can’t import a couch and a character separately.

### 5/5 — Extremely useful

*2022-07-09*

Thank you for this app. Easily worth the price for anyone that works with 3D models so you can give feedback on models etc on the go.

### 5/5 — Add pose feature

*2022-04-16, version 2.5.4*

It will great, if add pose feature and more textures format

### 5/5 — Thank you for making this app!

*2021-09-03, version 2.5.3*

I am a Japanese college student. I like the fact that the clipboard image can be applied immediately. I think it's a wonderful tool that carefully considers the user's feelings.

### 5/5 — UDIM

*2021-08-16*

It needs UDIM texture support

### 2/5 — Pencilkit

*2021-06-27*

Fine for texturing. Not ideal though, pencil kit simply isn’t powerful enough for my tastes. No eye dropper makes it super difficult.

Also doesn’t allow for painting directly on model.

### 5/5 — Good app!

*2021-03-29*

This is actually a really good app. You just need an already uv mapped model. It’s a shame there’s no app for ipad that can do that.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your comment Stefan. Actually, Artist 3d Viewer is also available for iPad ( no need for additional purchase, if you have purchased the iOS version, just download the iPad one)

### 2/5 — What now?

*2020-02-29*

I loaded my model but when I select my texture it asks me to seek the a material. But there’s no option to add or select any materials. There’s also no option to load a normal map.

**Developer response:** Hello MacabreMonster, thanks for your support. About the texture selection, the app detects the number of materials that the model already has and allows you to set the texture on any of these materials but you need at least one texture mapping to be able to attach the image. About the normal map, is one thing that we are considering to add in the future. If you have doubts about the texture assignment please check the tutorial on the info section inside the app
