Embedding 3D objects

Does anyone know how to embed 3D objects so that viewers can see and play around with, using either a source code or any plugins available for Omeka?

Hi,

Try the Universal viewer: the last release supports 3D objects like it : http://universalviewer.io/examples/?manifest=http://files.universalviewer.io/manifests/nelis/ecorche.json

Hi,I want to see 3d objects, I downloaded and installed UniversalViewer4Omeka. Simple PDF and JPG are visualized, but not 3d PDF. Apart from that I can see the ecorche 3d model of the link. Is it necessary any special format for the 3d object??

Hi,

Yes, there is a special format for 3D and 3D in a pdf is not supported.

OK. Could you say which is the 3d supported format? Thank you very much for your attention

Hi,

I don't know how the 3D models are built, but it seems that the format used is a common one. The example is done with http://www.meshmixer.com. Ask on the UniversalViewer (https://github.com/universalviwer/universalviewer) for more information.

Hi,

The implemented format is a common one: Three.js (see http://threejs.org and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three.js ).
