+# 3d-obj-renderer
+
+Barebones 3d model (.obj) viewer.
+
+Single object only, no vertex textures. Requires triangulated meshes.
+
+Tested with direct export from blender.
+
+Move camera with `wasd`. Click and drag to reorient.
+
+Pass in obj and material files as command args `-o` and `-m` respectively.
+
+*Caution*. It seems to break on first run of each file from boot and vertex coords break. Works fine on rerun though. Not tested.
