Windows Explorer Extensions

Download From Github Release

No thumbnails showing

Ensure thumbnails are generally enabled. Are thumbnails working with other file types on your system, e.g. photos? If not, you may have disabled them altogether.

open any folder
open the Folder Options
- Windows 10: select View → Options → Change folder and search options
- Windows 7: select Organize → Folder and search options
Select the View tab
in Advanced settings, make sure the Always show icons, never thumbnails option is not checked

Clear your thumbnail cache. This forces Explorer to request new thumbnails instead of relying on outdated data.

click the Start button and type cleanmgr.exe
select drive C: and confirm
check Thumbnails and confirm
reboot

Speed

Rendering thumbnails for 3D models may not be that fast. To keep your explorer smooth and available, we have made some limits here, if the model file size is larger than 300MB or takes longer than 5 seconds to load and render, it will be cancelled and display this image below.

If there is an error loading the file (corrupt or illegal file), it will display this image below.

Logs

Space Thumbnails saving the logs in Windows Events. To view the logs, you can open Event Viewer, right-click on the Custom Views folder in the left Console Tree, click Create Custom View.... and follow the steps below to create a custom view. You need to upload the logs here when you submit the issue.

space-thumbnails's Issues

How can I change the color of thumbnails?

By default, it is white and it is hard to see what is drawn.
Is it possible to set a different color through the registry, maybe there is a separate configuration file?

[Request]FBX user-defined axis orientation

When I use the model with the Z axis up, the thumbnail cannot be recognized correctly.

LightWave support

Hi,
Your extension looks fantastic! Would you please consider adding the LightWave LWO object format? The LightWave SDK is freely available, but since we have only recently restarted business the only place to get it (without buying your own licence) is the Wayback machine - https://web.archive.org/web/20230306105831/https://www.lightwave3d.com/lightwave_sdk/

Error when trying to generate thumbnails

When I try to generate the thumbnails I get this error

FEngine (64 bits) created at 00000266792DB050 (threading is enabled)

I've tried it with different 3D models and formats such as .fbx, .gltf and .obj

Windows Explorer to crash or get stuck.

When loading large models will cause windows explorer to crash or get stuck, should use process isolation and timeout

[Request] FBX support

FBX is one of the more common formats and would be amazing to have support for it. The software works well and is very lightweight on my system

Roadmap

This project is in the very early stages of development, and here are the goals to be completed in the near future。

Optimization

Using process isolation + IPC to prevent the errors that can cause Windows Explorer to crash or get stuck. #2
Caching rendering contexts to improve rendering speed.

Support Formats

Blender (.blend)
Cinema 4D (.c4d)
STEP (.stp/.step)
Folder with typical PBR material (metallic/diffuse/roughness/ao/bump/normal.png)

Animated GLB with mesh point animation - crash Windows Explorer

Animated GLB with mesh point animation - crash Windows Explorer.

Only this type of GLB animation - crash Windows 10 Explorer.

Other animated GLB & FBX - is - ok !

Example of my glb- in zip is attached.

FBX textures not supported?

Are textures in FBX files supported? I made sure that the paths to the texture files were correct in the FBX, and they show up just fine in Autodesk FBX Viewer. Unfortunately they are absent from the thumbnails. I see that you have a screenshot on your project home page showing materials in an FBX file, so I was wondering if I missed something?

some fbx can not dispaly

大佬有2个问题:
1.fbx纹理文件不能显示
2.有些fbx生成缩略图失败

这个是fbx-sdk自带的fbx文件,不能生成缩略图
