VZM Viewer

VZM Viewer ingests VZM files from a URL or inline data and outputs a quick visual preview along with machine-readable metadata. It is designed for developers, asset managers, and researchers who need fast inspection during import, validation, or cataloging activities without resorting to full 3D tooling.
Conceptually, the tool parses the VZM header, decodes vertex and topology data, computes bounding boxes and simple geometry metrics, and then renders a 2D projection for a thumbnail-like preview. It exposes two outputs: a render_preview in a data URL and a metadata object containing counts, bounds, and version information.
Unique value arises from combining non-destructive viewing with explicit geometry metrics in a single pass and from supporting both URL-based and inline data sources. It offers optional scale, rotation, and grid overlays to assist verification of proportions, without requiring local software installation. This makes it suitable for dashboards and automated QA pipelines.
Core features include flexible input (URL or inline), mode selection (preview or metadata), robust validation, and deterministic outputs. Typical use cases include batch validation for asset catalogs, pre-import QA, and remote team reviews. By returning a ready-to-use image and structured metadata, the tool accelerates asset integration and reduces manual inspection time.
