Create a thumbnail generator for 3D files our demo can read

[lrineau]

Feature Request Details

Similarly to the project https://github.com/unlimitedbacon/stl-thumb I would love to be able to see thumbnails of our files, before they are loaded, like this:

As we use Qt5, maybe it could use the ThumbCreator API from the KIO framework of KF5.

Probably it could share code with our 3D demo, or with the basic viewer features.

I assign the task to @maxGimeno, but that is a very low priority. Just a nice to have.

Another feature request: glossy effect

I would also be nice to be able to get a rendering similar to the above screenshot, with a glossy effect. Maxime, can could tell us how to setup the lightning, in the 3D demo, to get such a result?

Edit->Preferences->Change lighting settings
Set the specular component color to something like white, and the specular power to a rather low number.
