Viewer for 3D Models (v3dm) provides a field type to store 3D model files and several formatters to visualize them.
The field type doesn't do very much on its own. At present, it's just a container to upload 3D Models. In turn, v3dm provides integration modules for 3DHOP, JSC3D and Thingiview.js viewers.
This project comes out of the need of a viewer for STL files (stereolithography format for 3D printers). While there were no specific requirements for a given player, the desition was to implement it in a generic way so it could support several players.
Moreover, since available players support a variety of formats, it is
possible to use v3dm to visualize several file types.
| Format/Player | 3DHOP | JSC3D | Thingiview |
|---|---|---|---|
| Autodesk 3DS | x | ||
| OpenCTM | x | ||
| PLY | x | ||
| NXS | x | ||
| STL | x | x | |
| Wavefront OBJ | x | x |
A known flaw of the module is that it doesn't enforce to use a valid
formatter(player) for the extensions configured in a field. It's up to the
site builder to guarantee the consistency: ie, choose a set of extensions
you know are recognized by the selected formatter.
Integrates with filefield_paths and storage_api.
