Pancho Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Is there anybody who can give me a hint what is the status quo for, e.g. visualize a product in the browser so that any user can turn this object in all directions? There seems to be WebGl, but I wonder whether there is an easy solution with a game engine or something else with SSS effects e.g. and a custom light set up. WebGL looks kind of ugly what I've seen so far. Anybody a clue? Thanks in advance! Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebkaine Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) hi you have basically 2 options : - fake 3d by shooting 360 turnaround img sequence that are display when the user move. - webgl both solutions have +/- - fake 3d will work in any browser without risk of don't supporting webgl, and you will be able to have precalc quality. - webgl give you real 3d with great interaction, but it's heavier if you load mesh/textures , and can have problem on some device. some webgl exemple : https://sketchfab.com/models/792c802b482540e5b863efdbf930da57 https://sketchfab.com/models/ceefad643974410ab50873fc549f54f8 https://sketchfab.com/models/9b8a42c13b864fbaabb0a87e9814e7f5 https://sketchfab.com/models/cea743f31ae34aa0901267ca750b21bb - good tools for fake 3d : https://ggnome.com/object2vr - good tools for easy and nice webgl : https://sketchfab.com https://www.marmoset.co/viewer/?page=features Cheers E Edited November 1, 2017 by sebkaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancho Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hey, that's some great input to start from. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourfather Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) I've looked into this a few times. It's a higher level API for WebGL. https://threejs.org/ Most of the 3D stuff I've ever seen in the web browser has been done with it. If you browse the examples you'll see it's pretty flexible and powerful. This is one of my favorites. http://hellorun.helloenjoy.com/ Edited November 1, 2017 by lukeiamyourfather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebkaine Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I agree with Luke if you want to do your homework and start with a flexible frameworks Three.js is great. Getting PBR render / and clean post process to work as good as in sketchfab and toolbag viewer will take some time at the begining. You also have other cool options : - https://www.babylonjs.com/ for an open source game engine - https://playcanvas.com/ for a closed source game engine with great editor and great pbr workflow - https://threejs.org/ is a great generalist framework to do a little of evrything. 2 other great framework have been build on top of three. - https://aframe.io/ which is a declarative framework using HTML language - https://facebook.github.io/react-vr/ which is also a declarative framework using javascript i would personally go with sketchfab first and three.js if i need more ctrl ! but all options are good ones it depends on your needs.
