Does the 3D viewer support textures?

@kammutierspule,
thank you for the tip and the VRML viewer link! I didn’t know it
I was using freeWRL, but this one is much better… and it renders very easy with a friendly GUI…

OK, so now I have to play a bit with my scripts to add materials for VRML models… but the way is done…
I’m going to have a lib of 3D models with parametric dimensions for 3D mechanical export and collaboration (STEP AP214) and VRML models (generated from mechanical models) with the same aspect and with material properties for nicer artistic rendering!
All this features can be used with kicad StepUp script and the actual kicad version!
And moreover we also have a trick to add texture to VRML board and parts model :wink:

Now I don’t see, for me, any reason to use Wings3D anymore…
“Rule, FreeCAD!” :grinning:

Thank you again for your useful suggestions :smile:
Maurice

Alright. Maybe in future I will ask you if you can add some textures, … if kicad supports it!..
