Rendering with Mac Preview

Post by dmcclurg »

I noticed you can "Export to OBJ Format" in SweetHome3d and then double click the .OBJ file to see it in the Preview app on a mac. The quality is great and you can adjust the camera for the best shots.

I noticed this feature has been added to Preview application for a while. But as it didn't take MTL files into account, I thought it wasn't so interesting.
After your post, I tried Preview application again, but remembered that it's sandboxed, the reason why this application wouldn't have the right to open MTL and images if the user doesn't explicitly open them with Preview too. Therefore, I selected all the files exported by Export to OBJ Format menu item (OBJ+MTL+images), dropped them on Preview icon, and hurray, it worked this time! [:)]
