EXR and 3dm formats

[Jephinger]

Dear XnView developers,

I’m a 3D designer and I’d really like to be able to see thumbnails for EXR files. This format is very similar to HDR (32-bit, with the same wide dynamic range), and having previews would be a big help in daily work.

Previously, when I was working on Windows XP 32-bit, I used the Rhino Preview Image plug-in and could see thumbnails for Rhinoceros (.3dm) files. I’m now on Windows 7 x64, and unfortunately Rhino Preview Image doesn’t work on a 64-bit system.

It would be great if XnView could support previews for EXR and 3dm formats. That kind of functionality makes browsing large project folders much easier, especially when dealing with many versions and assets.

For reference, here’s a useful media kit link where you can look at the Rhino Preview Image plug-in and get an idea of how EXR files are handled visually.

Thanks in advance.

You have already a EXR plugin. Could you send me 3dm samples?

You have already a EXR plugin.

No, I have not EXR plugin, but this format reads Deep Exploration viewer. I've also sent the link you a PM.

Could you send me 3dm samples?

Has found on the NET this plugin today

Worked on W7 64 but has ceased to show the thumbnails after the first reboot of the computer. Now it is not installed

This works with XP 64 only , but does not work on the W7 64

Note: You'll need MSVCP71.DLL & MSVCR71.DLL for ILMIMF.DLL to work.

Many thanks XnTriq!
Now I can see EXR )))))))))

Maybe you have already a 3dm plugin ?

[XnTriq]

AFAIK there's no plug-in for Rhino 3D (.3dm) yet.
Pierre will take a look at the samples you've provided, and maybe a future release of XnView will have support for this file format.

[Jephinger]

I hope that Pierre will add this feature in the next version of XnView

Thanks

This seems to be an issue with SageThumbs.
