Feature Request Details

Similarly to the project https://github.com/unlimitedbacon/stl-thumb I would love to be able to see thumbnails of our files, before they are loaded, like this:

Screenshot

As we use Qt5, maybe it could use the ThumbCreator API from the KIO framework of KF5.

Probably it could share code with our 3D demo, or with the basic viewer features.

I assign the task to @maxGimeno, but that is a very low priority. Just a nice to have.

Another feature request: glossy effect I would also be nice to be able to get a rendering similar to the above screenshot, with a glossy effect. Maxime, can could tell us how to setup the lightning, in the 3D demo, to get such a result?

Edit->Preferences->Change lighting settings Set the specular component color to something like white, and the specular power to a rather low number.
