It seems that very few practical cases (in-game) come into mind, aside from what has already been stated, such as being able to preview models for certain units for cosmetic purposes. Moreover, this appears to be an integrated tool-map than a proper spell/system, having components of either but not fitting all the same.

Aside from cosmetic purposes, it can also be used to quickly test a model and see if it functions/displays properly ingame, without having to open the world editor, as all the existing external tools have their issues and don't always display a model correctly. It's also meant as a replacement of the existing model viewer maps uploaded to the hive.
Thanks for the rating =)

Ah well, I'll keep updating it anyway. Personally I found the other model viewer maps useful, and I wanted to improve on them by making use of the new natives and creating new/better controls.
Considering the feedback I'm getting, I'll split it up into a few separate libraries (camera/model/environment) so it's more fitting in this section, and may hopefully also be useful for other projects.

Having skimmed through the code, it appears that the library itself will only grow in complexity.
Testing out the features in the map were a delight, though moving the unit around felt kind of buggy. (Sometimes, it would just disappear from the screen). Overall, a fun tool-map to use.

Thanks!
In the next update, there will be a separate library for the mouse controls (which has been posted in the JASS section), the camera system, and the SFX system (and later also environment). Though they won't be that much more than convenience wrappers, aside from mouse controls and being able to store/retrieve setups in gamecache.
I'm also hoping to improve the buggy behavior you mentioned.

I was impressed when I tried this tool.
Even if it was not made for Reforged, it still worked, even if I had a few issues with the camera and animation controls.
I guess it is not fully compatible or I probably didn't really understand the controls properly.
I would still recommend people to try it, it can really help testing how a series of models will render in the actual real game context rather than in a model viewer.
The code also seemed very clean to me. This deserves 5 stars in spite of the potential for improvement.

Maybe I'll update this someday, I had plans to add a bunch of environment controls too (tiles, sky, fog, etc). The mouse controls could maybe be improved with some of the new natives (not sure), and it could probably be more user friendly if I make a custom UI with the new UI natives.
For the button controls (the mouse controls are pretty buggy), seems like it doesn't work as intended in the newer patches, but before it was just activate the ability (right click) and then use the arrow buttons etc to change the value.

I thought as much, so yeah I guess the patches broke it
