A Simple DK2 High fidelity model viewer.?

I know you can bring models into unity or UE4 etc, I was wondering however if there is a half decent simple model viewer that uses the DK2 + Tracking available now to download? I was looking at XNALara and Skyrim as model viewers, but there is a lot of messing around. All I really want is to quickly load a model into a realisticly lit and rendered scene, and be able to use the full functionality of the DK2. Pretty simple really? :shock:

    If you're looking for high fidelity I can only recommand Marmoset Toolbag 2.

    However it costs around 130$ (which is not much really for what it gives). As a 3D environment artist it's a "must-have" tool to preview my assets. It does support the Oculus, I tried it quickly with my DK2 it works quiet well. It's also a Physically Based Rendering which is the new way of making textures now.
    If you're looking for a free option I think Sketchfab supports the Oculus. However I don't thinks it's PBR (I don't use it much actually)

    Both of them will give you a good looking result and are really easy to use, just load and preview, but none of them offer tracking as for now ...
    If you are going to use UE4, you should really use Toolbag as it's PBR and has a preset for UE4 to give the most accurate preview possible.

    Hope it helps.
