Supported formats

Planned support for 0.1.0. Video and audio playback depend on the codecs available on each operating system.

Basic metadata means name, path, size, extension, filesystem dates and state.

3D metadata

  • Triangles are counted from decoded geometry. For OBJ, the value is labeled after triangulation. Lines and points produce no invented triangles.
  • Meshes and instances are counted separately, so an instanced mesh does not hide how many triangles are actually rendered.
  • Materials, textures and animations are shown only when the format defines them, not_applicable otherwise.
  • Bounds are shown in file units. Parallaxe never assumes meters.
  • External references (glTF URIs, MTL textures) are resolved only inside the authorized root. Missing ones are reported as warnings.

Not in 0.1.0

Editing, conversion, FBX/BLEND/USD/STEP preview, archive browsing and remote URLs. See the roadmap.
