Exhibit for Linux

Preview your 3D models

Overview

Exhibit is a 3D model viewer designed for Linux users.

It helps you preview 3D models safely and easily without needing advanced skills.

The app works well if you want to view different types of 3D files because it supports many popular formats.

These include glTF, STL, STEP, PLY, OBJ, FBX, USD, Alembic, and more.

This makes it useful for both digital content and scientific data.

With Exhibit, you can drag and drop your 3D model files right into the program.

After loading a model, you can export images of the rendered view.

This is handy if you want to share or save a snapshot of your 3D work.

The app also lets you adjust several settings to improve the look of your model.

You can change tone mapping, ambient occlusion, anti-aliasing, and material properties like roughness, metallic shine, color, and opacity.

These options help get clearer, more detailed renders.

For background, Exhibit supports using HDRI images or solid colors.

This flexibility lets you create the best setting for displaying your model.

It is important to note Exhibit focuses on previewing and rendering only.
