CLUSTER MODELS-WEB-DIMENSIONAL · 62 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY unknown

3D model viewers

This cluster comprises web, desktop, and terminal tools for viewing, inspecting, and interacting with 3D models across diverse formats (GLB, glTF, USDZ, CAD, point clouds) and use cases (architecture, education, product showcases, geospatial exploration). Dated entries before the index start appear sporadically, with single or paired months from 2016-01 to 2026-07, showing no clear upward or periodic trend. Traction is led by "empire" with 147 stars, far ahead of "mac-cad-preview" (7 stars) and "platonic-solids" (1 star).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
