3D Wireframe Viewer

An intuitive and lightweight desktop application for visualizing 3D models in wireframe and solid-faced representations. Developed with tkinter for the user interface and matplotlib for 3D rendering, this tool is ideal for engineers, designers, and enthusiasts who need a quick and straightforward way to inspect 3D models.

  • Multi-Format Loading: Supports popular 3D model file formats including .obj, .ply, and .stl.

  • Flexible Visualization: Easily switch between wireframe and filled face views.

  • Customizable Color Controls: Adjust colors for edges, vertices, faces, and the background.

  • Predefined Views: Quickly snap to orthogonal views like Front, Back, Left, Right, Top, and Bottom.

  • Interactive Navigation: Use built-in Matplotlib tools to rotate, zoom, and pan your 3D model with ease.

  • Render Export: Save snapshots of your current view as .png and .jpg images.
