Should we preview the models?

I figured it would be more useful that just 2D rendered images, but there may be some downside I'm not anticipating. In particular, @Sumanuil: why did you keep the Nefertiti preview but remove the Stanford bunny and Suzanne previews? Arlo James Barnes 03:39, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Because the Stanford bunny one wasn't there, and the Suzanne already had an image. (Nefertiti didn't have any other.) I didn't see the need for two. Maybe just replace the old images with the new ones? Sumanuil. 04:10, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see. To my mind it's less about old vs. new, but STL vs. render -- one looks pretty but the other is interactive and better represents the models over the particular artistic choices that go into a given 2D render. But perhaps you right that there are too few STLs on Commons to make it worthwhile... I wonder if the nonfree models would qualify for fair-use hosting here, despite the patent clause not holding.
