3D Browser renders thumbnails straight from the local mesh files and presents them in a virtualized grid, with metadata and a detail viewer with orbit, pan and zoom. Lighting can be set as needed.

The backend is Rust with Tauri 2 (tokio, rusqlite, notify, blake3); the frontend is React 19 with react-three-fiber and Three.js. Version 1 targets Apple Silicon.
