Terminal-ready
Render individual files or entire folders without opening a 3D application.
macOS CLI + Codex skill
3D models in. Clean PNGs out.
AssetShelf Renderer turns 3D files into reproducible single views, contact sheets, explicit subobject poses, and technical validation renders — directly from Terminal or in natural language with Codex.
Version 1.2 (Build 10) · 1.9 MB · signed & notarized · macOS
One renderer, many workflows
Built for asset pipelines, not manual screenshots.
Consistent camera presets, output size, and surface settings: the CLI delivers repeatable results for catalogs, reviews, documentation, and automated production pipelines.
Materials preserved
Render textures, colors, and core PBR materials from FBX, glTF, and GLB.
Address authored nodes
--list-parts returns stable selectors and flags which logical FBX or GLB nodes are safely rotatable.
Rotate only what you name
Apply explicit local X/Y/Z deltas by selector. No inferred joints, angle sweeps, or generated combinations.
Large contact sheets
Render four or six views for every listed pose, with atomic pagination and a machine-readable cell index.
Inspect geometry
Mesh and rigging overlays expose technical issues, while the pivot marks the model's actual origin.
Render examples
Contact sheets
One model. Four or six perspectives. One PNG.
Ideal for asset approvals and fast comparisons: front, back, left, and right — optionally including top and bottom.

The matching Codex skill
Describe what you need. Codex renders it.
The open-source skill knows the CLI's options, formats, sensible defaults, and common failure modes. It validates input, output, and the PNG signature, lists authored parts before selecting a node, and never guesses an ambiguous name or invents poses that were not requested.
- “Render all FBX files as transparent 1024 px PNGs.”
- “Create a four-view contact sheet for this GLB.”
- “List the rotatable parts, then turn this named node 90° around local Y.”

AssetShelf Renderer CLI 1.2 (10)
Signed and notarized by Apple for macOS. The package installs the CLI at
/usr/local/bin/assetshelf-render. Double-click the PKG to
install; macOS Installer requests administrator authorization when needed.
Version 1.2 can inspect logical FBX and GLB nodes with
--list-parts, apply one explicitly requested pose with repeated
--rotate-part, or render an ordered --pose-file.
Larger jobs use --output-directory for bounded PNG pages and a
contact-sheet.json index. Without either pose option, existing
single renders and contact sheets remain unchanged. Third-party notices and
the SPDX 2.3 SBOM are installed under
/usr/local/share/doc/assetshelf-render/. The reviewed,
source-built glTF subset remains free of KTX2/BasisU and Zstandard;
content requiring BasisU or Draco is reported as unsupported. A missing
optional FBX .fbm folder remains silent.
Import, render, and share only content for which you have the required rights. AssetShelf does not grant rights to opened content.
