Akaro vs Marmoset Viewer

Akaro has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

Marmoset Viewer is a physically based WebGL viewer for sharing interactive 3D presentations on the web. Scenes are created in Marmoset Toolbag and exported as optimized .mview packages to host or embed. Viewer supports animated scenes, refractive materials, shadowed fog, and shadow catcher objects. Developers can embed packages using a JavaScript library and embed utility; packages can also be uploaded to ArtStation, and a third-party WordPress plugin is available for uploads and embedding. A free standalone desktop app opens .mview files locally and is downloadable separately from Toolbag. The maker lists Windows, OS X, iOS, and Android support, but says Android support is less robust than Windows, OS X, and iOS. Global illumination, screen-space reflections, and ambient occlusion are not supported. Because models and textures must be sent to the browser for rendering, the maker says robust copy protection is essentially impossible. The standalone Viewer app is free, and Viewer is included with Toolbag versions 2.07 and newer. The listed format is .mview; measurement tools and annotation or markup are not available.
