Changes

error or timeout

Rendering thumbnails for 3D models may not be that fast. To keep your explorer smooth and available, we have made some limits here, if the model file size is larger than 300MB or takes longer than 5 seconds to load and render, it will be cancelled and display this image below.

If there is an error loading the file (corrupt or illegal file), it will display this image below.
