SketchUcation 3D Viewer (formerly the '[ignore]' thread)

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.

TIG

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.

have you tried a LiveIvy skp yet, some of the leaves don't work when I run them in mrdoob

@john

we are tweaking some transparency settings...

...and

just a case of dialling it in.

Rich O Brien

Sorry...

That was a dumb idea by me

We have yet to implement saving of transparency in the editor backend. You can set it but not yet save the setting.

Cool viewer!
You are making a new Sketchfab ?

Not really. Ours is focused around SU and leveraging elements in SU to be advantageous in the viewer.

A little tester.

Imagine that on a full sized model like Tunstall Court ect

Nice. Now you can test the saving of the material parameters as well.

Yep that works.

I just changed it so it was obvious. I might have a fiddle when I have time to make it look nice.
I must say, if you can get the swipe to work this would be a godsend on mobile devices. For me it actually works better and faster on my phone than this old laptop I'm stuck with.
