Hey everyone,

Like many of you working in archviz and 3D studios, I was frustrated with proprietary asset managers forcing monthly subscription fees, running slow over office NAS shares, or Windows Explorer showing blank white icons for `.max`, `.rvt`, and `.skp` files.

So I built **OpenDAM** — a 100% free, local-first Digital Asset Management tool designed specifically for architecture and 3D pipelines.

Key Features:

- Visual previews for .max, .rvt, .rfa, .skp, .dwg, .vrmat, .exr, and textures.

- Spacebar Quick Look: Hold spacebar on any asset for an instant high-res preview overlay.

- Interactive 3D Viewport: Real-time orbit/inspection in the detail panel.

- NAS-Safe Architecture: Self-contained `.opendam/library.sqlite` directly in shared folders. Batch transactions protect network storage from I/O lockup.

- 100% Free & Open Source (MIT) — No per-seat fees, zero telemetry.

Tech stack: Tauri v2 + Rust + React + Three.js.

I’d love to hear your feedback and what features you’d like to see next!

I work at a firm, and since we've started using ai we dont use rendering, so from sketchup screenshots to complete renders using nano bana 2/ pro, gpt image 2 result are good but we're looking for better result, like world class result.

What are some other workflows out there Im not aware of?
thanks

I have BYD QIN L 2025 (bigger battery) and my friend has a SEALION 7 (bigger battery).

The other day we talked about fuel consumption and told him I’m very happy with mine as it is around 5L/100km and my friend replied with.. “mine is 3.3”

I don’t know how it possible, I checked his it was true, anyone has an idea?

Im in iraq and the default byd maps dont work for iraq, no speeding camera placement, the road speed limita are marked wrong, some road don’t exist in map.

Looking to install waze on my qin L 2025

I have a project where I need to print 150 toy houses 2”x4”, the prints look good and the quality is great however need to paint them. It’s made with black plastic (to block light passing through it) and painted white.

I’ve used a gloss enamel paint + primer combo spray, the layer lines are very visible, I tried 4 coats yet result isnt great and I know sanding may resolve this but at this scale and quantity it’s really impossible to get a good result.

Do you guys have any suggestions or solutions?

Just curious to know if it cheap everywhere

As of Iraq, Erbil;
Qin plus $13,000 usd
Destroyer 05 $13,000 usd
Seal 05 $13,000 usd
Seal 06 $17,500 usd
Qin L $18,000 usd

As you know ram prices are ridiculous right now, looked at alibaba and ram is so cheap on there; 2x32gb of ddr4 is only $120. Is there a catch? Has anyone tried it?
