3D Model Viewer

[IrascibleOne]

Look! I did something 3D Model Viewer

I've wanted to implement a model viewer into DS and Imantu. I'd do it now, but getting it all to work is still fairly crude. There are too many steps to go from a model in Blender to the model in the browser. There are other issues too, mainly limitations is what it can do.

So, consider this a proof of concept. Or proof that I'm doing something. Yay.

Awesome! I wish youd add a lamp option though

[IrascibleOne]

I could do something like that. It definitely needs a lot more work, so there should be plenty more improvements as I go along.

And hopefully it will happen sooner rather than later.

That's great, IO. I'm sure it'll be a good feature to have here and on Imantu.
Wait a minute...
Vyrtical? Is that your site too? Where did this one come from?

[IrascibleOne]

Yeah, Vyrtical was my capstone project for my major. Was supposed to be all about competitions, points, prizes, (live) speed modeling competitions for Blender. I basically wanted to make a fun site for the Blender community. In the end, the Blender plugin never got finished, the website never got a final polish (or any polish, really), and my teammates pretty much disappeared after we graduated.

I thought live speed modeling competitions would have been really awesome to have. With the points I imagined it being treated like a Blender sporting event (teammates didn't seem too excited for that though). I dunno what I will do with it now.

Oh and the reason the model viewer is on Vyrtical is because that's where I was originally going to have the 3D viewer. However, it should work on any of my sites when I finish it.

Are you planning on implementing the 3D viewer on Imantu?
I suppose the live speed modeling thing could work as part of Imantu as well (If there is ever a plugin for it, (if not, use Twitch?)).

[IrascibleOne]

Yeah. I'd like to have the 3D viewer on Imantu as a type of work people can upload as well as for the model downloads on DS. Still have a lot of work to do to streamline that process first, I want it as simple as possible. No timeline on when that will be though.

Twitch might work. If it could be integrated into a plugin that also connects directly to Imantu/Vyrtical then it might be an option. Although, if it means forcing people to get an account with Twitch to use it, then I dunno. I'd need to look into it more.

Not sure if I will ever get to this anytime soon though...
