Solidly: Native 3D Asset Viewer & Scene Editor
Real-time scene inspection, USD stage composition, PBR shader visualization, and studio-grade batch rendering in a single native application.
Overview
Solidly opens glTF, GLB, USD, USDZ, FBX, OBJ, STL, and PLY files in a real-time Metal viewport. It inspects nodes, meshes, materials, textures, animations, cameras, and lights, supports material and node hierarchy editing, and exports glTF and GLB assets with scene optimizations.
Designed for production pipelines, Solidly processes assets locally on-device for maximum speed, security, and low-latency interaction.
Core Capabilities
Inspect
Browse scene node hierarchies, sub-mesh primitives, material properties, texture channels, skeletal rigs, lights, cameras, and USD stage composition metrics in real time.
Edit
Transform scene nodes, adjust physically based material parameters, generate texture coordinates, combine meshes, and strip unused scene attributes prior to saving.
Export & Optimize
Save modified assets and export glTF or GLB models with automated texture compression, material packing, and scene optimization.
Engine & Features
Real-Time Metal Renderer
GPU-accelerated graphics engine supporting 60 fps real-time viewport playback, low memory footprint, and low-latency scene manipulation.
USD Composition & Refinement
Inspect composed USD stages, switch variant sets, toggle payloads, analyze sublayer stacks, and apply Catmull-Clark subdivision surface refinement matching usdview standards.
PBR Shader & MaterialX Pipeline
Frame-accurate physically based shading supporting metallic-roughness, specular, sheen, clearcoat, transmission, iridescence, anisotropy, OpenPBR material closures, and MaterialX node graphs.
Channel Diagnostics
Isolate individual shading channels including base color, world normals, roughness, metallic, ambient occlusion, emissive, wireframe, and UV layouts to pinpoint asset defects.
Studio Photo Mode
Configure framing, orthographic or perspective projections, depth-of-field focus, bloom, color grading, and tone mapping for high-resolution image exports up to 4K+.
Headless Batch CLI
Automated command-line renderer for bulk model rendering driven by CLI arguments or exported JSON configuration presets.
