Anyone can suggest a 3d file viewer for SnowLeopard that reads 3ds/obj/etc?

Hi there
I am looking for a file viewer that is able to read 3d files and display them (not modify them); kinda like p3do or thubsplus for pc.
as now there is no trace anywhere of any software like this on a mac; and considering that many applications like maya and c4d runs on a mac, i am surprised that there is no app that visualize 3d files.
thanks in advance for the replies; otherwise gotta continue to rely on parallels and p3d0 and switch back and forth between OS.

Thanks Tom
Indeed Photoshop opens obj, but i can open them already with my 3d modeling software, so this does not solve my problem.
picture this: i have 550 Gb of 3d models; and when i need a building i have 2 options: open each building one by one, or load parallels and use p3d0 and browse trough them, then switch back to my 3d software and load the model; then gotta look for the textures.....as you can imagine, unless i have a software that actually display a bunch of files in a directory, giving previews, my job gets at the limit of frustration
I can't believe that nobody wrote an app for mac like that...the best taht i have found so far is a viewer called TNGViewer, that is able to load some 3d formats, but one at time....
my search continue; hopefully with some help; otherwise i guess that i can write the app and just sell it as shareware for 9 dollars either i will get rich or i will not sell a single copy, since nobody cares to do what i want to do

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior.  Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    SuperDuper!
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.

    I can't send email from my iPad. I am from Australia but on holidays in Greece. Does anyone know what is the smtp outserver for Greece that I should use?

    As you haven't told us who your email provider is, no.
    There isn't an SMTP server for Greece - it is either provided by your email provider, or the Internet provider you are connected through.

  • Can i have a smaller file size for songs that i put on iphone vs mac

    i have ripped a lot of my cds  to itunes on my MBA. i used the aac high quality setting.
    is there a way that i can upload lower quality/smaller size versions of the songs that i will put on my new iphone ?
    Q2: once i rip cd into itunes (on my MBA)... is there an easy way I can  later decide to save space and re encode them at 128 instead of 256 (for example).
    i notice that you cant just willy nilly copy/delete from the itunes media folder because itunes doesnt seem to 'refresh' with the new files.
    thx!

    1. the ONLY place i see where you can set the sampling rate,etc  is under preferences/general/'when a cd is inserted"....    am i missing something?
    No.
    2. when i want to add an existing mp3 file (from outside the apple realm) , i am using itunes "add to library" and browsing to some mp3 file(s) . it doesnt give me a option to convert it to an m4a format... it seems to just add it to the itunes library without changing the mp3 file ....    do i have any option here?
    You don't need to convert formats and I would not recommend you do so. You will simply lose quality.
    To answer your original question...
    can i have a smaller file size for songs that i put on iphone vs mac
    If you want smaller files on the iPhone, see my post above which converts them when syncing to theiPhone.
    If you really want to convert when adding songs to iTunes...
    iTunes prefs > General - Import settings as you want.
    Hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and choose  File > Create New Version > Convert AAC (or what your settings are in previous step).
    This will convert and add the file instead of adding the file then converting and having 2 of the same song in iTunes.

  • Where can I find Icon files (*.ico) for using in forms

    Q) Where can I find Icon files (*.ico) for using in forms?
    Explaination: I am looking for icons for showing them in my application. Like I have an iconic button for 'Data Entry' option on Vertical Toolbar. Then one icon for Reports and Queries and so on. I need some icons which reflect the heading like for 'Data Entry', I would like a person working on a keyboard. For reports I would like to have a person reading a report or something like that.
    Can I find such icons on internet or any specific site?
    Pl. guide.
    TIA
    Tariq

    There are thousands and thousands of places on the internet to find .ICO files. Just find one with image and size you want, and use it.
    Note that if you are using web-deployed Forms, you will need to convert the .ICO file to .GIF or .JPG for runtime. The Forms Builder still uses .ICO files, though.

  • Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading?

    Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading? I have limited download (525 MBs/day) because of Hughsnet and I need to know each applications total size before I download.

    You can go to the trial page to get an estimated size.  As the Creative Cloud products change over time though this may become less accurate.
    If you are on a limited bandwidth account then you may want to consider purchasing a perpetual copy of Creative Suite 6 as opposed to subscribing to the Creative Cloud.

    How can i cancel my att contract for ipad2 that i bought it from online store to use it in europe?

    You don't have a contract with AT&T for an iPad. If you signed up for an AT&T data plan (only possible from the iPad itself, to the best of my knowledge) AT&T's iPad plan is a month-to-month and can be cancelled at any time through the same settings you used to sign up.

  • Need native InDesign file viewer for Windows

    We are evaluating the usage of InDesign as a layout programm for web sites. At the moment we do create our mock ups using Photoshop.
    A great thing about that: At least the flattened photoshop layout can be viewed by everybody in our company.
    Now - as we do have .indd files there is a desire to have a look on the work results without having a full copy of InDesign installed!
    At least for Mac there is http://www.code-line.com/software/sneakpeekpro/
    But we still need a file viewer für native InDesign files on Windows!
    Any suggestions?

    1. You can change the preview size of your documents in Preferences -- it's under File Handling. Other than most of the preferences, this is a system-wide setting, so you don't have to change it per document. Opening, then forcing a file to save (you have to change something or use Save As) will update the previews in the file. I've read that CS5 allows you to save a preview of more than the first spread.
    2. http://www.jongware.com/binaries/extractIdThumbnails.zip (Windows) -- drop an InDesign file on this, and it will extract the preview (or previews) into the same folder the file came from. Only works, of course, if there *are* previews in that file. Seems to work fine with CS4, I only have one or two CS3 / CS5 files to test with and it theoretically *should* work with those as well.
    This doesn't bring the count of InDesign viewers to '1', though. The file format of InDesign is WAY too complicated to make a 'real' file viewer.
    ... How about Bridge? Did you try that?

  • How can I change the file version for scanned PDFs to 1.4 when using the "PDF from Scanner" feature from Acrobat XI? By default it's always saved as 1.5.

    Because our IT system can only handle PDFs with versions up to 1.4, we need to "PDF from scanner" feature to store the scanned PDFs in version 1.4.
    Acrobat 9 always saved it in 1.4, but starting with Acrobat X, the PDFs are saved in 1.5.
    There must be a setting or configuration somewhere where I can change this.
    I already tried modifying the distiller's standard joboptions, but that did not work.
    Thanks for any help

    We use in our software an open-source pdf library that only supports pdf versions up to 1.4. I know it is old, but it's not that simple to exchange it.
    But I just had a look into the Actions as you suggested. This way I get it to work. It costs one additional click, so that's acceptable.
    Thanks for the support.
