  1. This is a small application which builds a "QuickLook generator" for Mac OS.
  2. This will generate previews (selecting a file in Finder and hitting space) and
  3. thumbnails ("Cover flow" view in Finder) for .obj, .off and .mesh 3D model
  4. files.
  5. To build issue:
  6. make
  7. This will compile the source and build the application in ./Mesh.qlgenerator/
  8. To install issue:
  9. sudo make install
  10. This will copy the directory ./Mesh.qlgenerator/ into /Library/QuickLook/ and
  11. reload the Quicklook Manager (so that you see your changes in Finder).
  12. = Dependencies =
  13. Install Mesa3D using macports.
  14. sudo port install mesa
  15. Then re-install GLU à la http://www.alecjacobson.com/weblog/?p=2827
  16. = Testing =
  17. After installing you can test previews with:
  18. /usr/bin/qlmanage -p ../shared/cheburashka.off
  19. and thumbnails with:
  20. /usr/bin/qlmanage -t ../shared/cheburashka.off
  21. = Note about Mesa =
  22. If things look weird (too far away, blank, etc.) then maybe you should
  23. reinstall GLU. It seems that the version of GLU that comes with macports' mesa
  24. is buggy/corrupted.
