Here’s a really awesome application, developed by French devs Vertice and Bewise, that lets you import your models and scenes from any 3D software (Maya, 3DS Max, Softimage, Blender, Catia etc..) and navigate through them  directly on your Windows Phone 7 device thanks to the GPU onboard. As you will see in the videos after the break you can turn on/off several features like diffuse lighting, speculars, etc all that in real time. Check it out now:
