Download 3DTop

Warning:

3DTop brings a third dimension to your desktop and is very addictive .

Before you try 3DTop we would like to point out that this little program will not install anything else on your computer and will not change the registry-settings of your computer in any way.

To install:

Download the installer and start.That's it
If everything is to your satisfaction and you like it, put a shortcut of "3DTop" in your "startup"-program group. After a few days or so (or maybe minutes) you'll want nothing else.

Download !

November 2026, latest stable version 2026-11-7.

From the Microsoft store. Go

64-bit installer. Go

Changes:
- Normally 3DTop stopped animating when you were working in another window, this is now optional, switch on again in "other Options".
- Upon first startup the shortcuts from the desktop are copied into 3DTop.
- The import3D plugin is not needed anymore. The "Create 3D model" menu option now can convert a 3ds file to an abmf (animated basic model format) file which will then be loaded. Keep the location of the .abmf file and it's textures at the same place, as they are loaded from there. So now there's even more functionality in the mere 777 KiloByte of application !
- You can now "Lock the look" !
- Sphere icons look better now with a better texture wrap.
- Many many other small bugfixes.
