SketchUcation 3D Viewer (formerly the '[ignore]' thread)
-
Haha.
It was. I was gonna delete after testing as we had it visible to only some member types.
But when they heavy hitters above started giving feedback I felt I couldn't delete it.

Ok, while its great to get all this feedback we are still adhering to our initial roadmap.
That being browser based initially.
Regards file size. What's large? >100mb?
The viewer allows you to embed into any web page. We generate the html code to do just that. You just paste.
Testing involves playing with it. Breaking it. Suggesting things. Nothing to strenuous.
Well, I went and looked and the largest .skp file was a little under 16Mb but most are under 10Mb so they are a little smaller than I was thinking. I do have one model I built that is about 70Mb that I was using for a "presentation". It has a car wash inside a building with other equipment outside the building.
Sounds interesting to me.........one of my jobs in the past was to design web applications and then help test them.

So much for people ignoring this thread.
ha. you can't write 'ignore' and expect people to ignore it

It will eat those up and spit them out is seconds...

We fixed some of the earlier shading artifacts....

...the wheels on this model are funky in any viewer so that's my fault.
-
No message under the Icons when mouse fly over them ?
No reset when the model fly away the screen on unknow territories ? -
-
An interesting feature in the automobile example is that mouse scroll zoom on this one is slower than the other examples. Maybe the scale of the model?
I have Firefox 33.1.1 at the moment for this post. As I verified, 34.x started to download.
There is also a black screen and a timer before the plus icon. I then have to click in the field to see the object. -
On page load we place an image in place of the 3D view. This is so the viewer doesn't slow page load times or crash browsers.
The black happens as the model loads and the initial white is because the light in the scene is still in WIP.
-
instead of the black screen, can't you set the 'img' as background image and hide when the model is ready?
-
Seems F5 go to first image but all the process mut be reloaded!

Who cares? The car won't go anywhere while the wheels aren't fastened to anything anyway
BTW it works on my Mac under Yosemite and Safari 8.0

I looked at the source code for the page and see that there is a simple iFrame tag with a link to the source. Is it really that simple?
Cannot tell from this but am wondering if this is something that I can host on my local machine or server and have it all "self contained" or do I have to upload my skp file to you or some service and have it rendered from there? In particular, when we were at our convention or if we are at a customer site the web service can be an "ify" situation. Thus we have a keen interest in being able to display the skp files on a web page in a stand alone environment.
Looking at your html, it also looks like it might be rather straight forward to provide a list of models as hyperlinks that would then populate a single iFrame on the page when I clicked on the link.
What happens if the skp file contains scenes? If my model has a transparent background, can I then specify a background color for the iFrame when the model is displayed?
I would also like to see tool tips for the buttons at the top of the displayed model and a little more color contrast so that it is easier to see which button is active.
BTW: You said you display an image to speed up the page load (which I agree with), is that an image that has to be generated ahead of time or are you somehow creating it on the fly (from watching the page load, I assume it is an image that is created before hand).

Too many questions to handle here...

Although, the model doesn't appear until I click (Of course I clicked once first to load the model)
Now it should appear on the first click.

I does.

another round of testing...
today we are adding specularity so you might see failed displays, weird display etc...

I think the most brilliant thing about this viewer is that it works with the 'click mouse wheel orbit' that we all try to use on web pages.
