Blaze3D PC

Blaze3D delivers blazing speed for viewing 3D triangle meshes and point clouds on Windows and Linux. Load models instantly from console commands like "blaze3d" for single files or folders, or drag and drop them into the open window. Stream loading provides quick visual feedback, while arrow keys let you traverse folders and browse files like a dedicated explorer. Point clouds render with color shading for clear views of complex structures, and camera controls handle smooth movement, rotation, and zoom. It handles formats from STL and OBJ to PLY and GLTF, with low idle CPU use and incremental rendering for massive datasets. Game development pros and 3D modelers rely on this animation and modeling utility for efficient workflows.

The blazingly fast 3D data viewer for Windows and Linux.
Blaze3D might be the fastest 3D data viewer currently available.
It supports both the visualization of triangle mesh and pointcloud data stored in many file formats.

Showcase

As you'll notice in the videos below, Blaze3D is very fast and supports many workflows for viewing your files.

Running from console

You can view your model by calling:
blaze3d


Or an entire folder via:
blaze3d folder

Drag&Drop support

You can drop any supported model or folder on the already opened window

Stream loading

Get instant visual feedback even before loading is done

Folder traversal

You can traverse the currently opened folder with the arrow keys

Folder view

You can view all models within a folder and use Blaze3D like any other file browser

Colored point shading

Point data is always shaded colorized. This makes it easy to understand even complex 3D models

Camera controls

Move, rotate and zoom are fully supported

Editions

Blaze3D is available as free Lite (Steam Demo) and paid Pro (Steam Buy) edition.
The Pro edition supports additional file formats.

High efficiency

Blaze3D causes no CPU usage when idle and uses very little memory (if double_buffer_data is turned off). Saving power and allowing you to work on other tasks in parallel.
Incremental rendering of point clouds is also supported. This makes it possible to render very large point clouds that do not fit into your GPU's memory.

Active development

Blaze3D is in active development and will further improve in the future. Feature requests and bug reports are very welcome.
