Open any 3D asset.
Play any animation.

AnyMesh is a free 3D model & animation viewer. Drop a model and it's instantly framed, lit and turning on a turntable — or drop an animation and watch it play on a built-in UE Manny or Mixamo character. No setup, no cloud, no account.

Drop an animation.
Watch it on a character.

Got an animation but no character to see it on? Open any Mixamo or Unreal clip — even a bare animation file with no mesh — and AnyMesh plays it on a built-in UE Manny or Mixamo character. Switch characters from the View on menu; AnyMesh retargets across rigs automatically, so a Mixamo clip plays on Manny and a UE clip plays on the Mixamo figure. Free, offline, no upload.

Everything you need to just look

No menus to learn. Open a file and it's already framed, lit and ready.

🧊

Six formats

GLB, glTF, FBX, OBJ (+ .mtl), STL and PLY — including DRACO, KTX2/Basis and Meshopt compression, all decoded automatically.

🎯

Auto-frame & turntable

Every model is centered, scaled to fit and slowly rotating with studio lighting and a soft contact shadow.

🏃

Animation playback

Rigged models play instantly. Multiple clips? Pick one from the dropdown. Root-motion clips stay in frame.

🕺

Play on a character

Open a Mixamo or Unreal animation — even with no mesh — and watch it on a built-in UE Manny or Mixamo figure. AnyMesh retargets across rigs automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes — completely free, with no account, no trial, and no locked features. Donations are appreciated but never required.

Can I play an animation on a character?

Yes. Open a Mixamo or Unreal animation — even one with no mesh — and use the View on menu to play it on a built-in UE Manny or Mixamo character. AnyMesh retargets across rigs automatically, so a Mixamo clip plays on Manny and a UE clip plays on the Mixamo figure.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. AnyMesh runs entirely on your computer and works fully offline. Your models never leave your machine, and this site stores nothing about you.

Why does my OS show a warning?

The app isn't code-signed with a paid certificate yet. On Windows click “More info → Run anyway”; on macOS right-click → Open. It's safe — the source is open.

Which formats are supported?

GLB, glTF, FBX, OBJ (with .mtl), STL, and PLY — including DRACO, KTX2/Basis and Meshopt-compressed glTF, and colored PLY point clouds.

Windows, Mac and Linux?

Yes — native builds for all three. Pick your platform in the download section above.

Can it open a whole folder of models?

Yes. Open a folder (or drop one in) and every model appears in a sidebar — click or arrow-key through them.
