About STL-Thumb

What's new in 0.5.0

  • FXAA Anti-aliasing - Images look much nicer now without the jagged edges! FXAA is on by default, but can be shut off. It has minimal performance impact.
  • Pipes! - Can now read STL data from the stdin stream instead of a file
  • Faster Image Compression
  • Added option to force recalculating face normals if your STL files are malformed
  • Published on package on crates.io and docs on docs.rs.
