Model View 3D is a fast, simple viewer for textured 3D models on iPhone and iPad. Turn, tilt and zoom around a model, let it spin, move the light, switch rooms, and see exactly how its color, normal and specular maps shape the final look. TEN BUILT-IN MODELS Start right away with a photogrammetry head scan, a modern arm chair, a potted plant, a pocket watch with a glass crystal and a polished case, a vintage camera, a normal-mapped cyborg, and more. BRING YOUR OWN MODELS • Import OBJ models (with their MTL and textures) and glTF or GLB models from Files, iCloud Drive, AirDrop, Mail or any app that can share a file. • Zip a model together with its textures and import everything in one step. • Sixteen slots: six free for your models, and any built-in can be replaced or restored. • Supply your own button icon, or let the app render one for you. REAL MATERIALS • Metal renderer with per-pixel lighting, normal maps and specular maps. • Room reflections on glass and metal, driven by glTF metallic and roughness maps. • Transparent glass, double-sided foliage and alpha-masked leaves. • Smooth or flat shading per model, and a wireframe view with a live triangle count. SIMPLE CONTROLS • One finger to orbit, pinch to zoom, two fingers to raise or lower the view, triple tap to reset. • Spin the model, step through four rooms, and open the Settings card to move the light, change its brightness, and switch texture maps and reflections on or off. Built-in help explains every control and how to prepare models on your Mac or PC. No account needed. Model View 3D is free and supported by a small banner ad that appears only while the model menu is showing; a one-time Remove Ads purchase takes it away for good.
