I am in need of a way to upload my Sketchup models to my company website. I am wanting to create 3D models in Sketchup, and have a tool that will allow potential clients to go onto my company website, see what models I have, and rather than the walkthrough be led by me, be completely interactive, and they can walk around in the rendered model via my website. I have been unsuccessful finding anything similar to this, and am not tech savy enough to create something to incorporate this.
Just tested it on my site and works great. I like that there is a sidebar tab that lets you select the models scenes, etc. Model Embed ā Eric M Sargeant
Walking around a ārenderedā model is a different story. You could export a series of rendered 360 degree views. Most rendering plugins do this. Itās not totally interactive as youāre locked to each vantage point and can look around from there. Example: http://www.sargeantillustration.com/caytonvr/
You can take this method further by linking together multiple 360 views into a āvirtual tourāā¦youād need another program to do that. Something like this: krpano.com - Paris Virtual Tour
Once you figure out what works best for you, come back and share your result with us!
*edited, I havenāt tried this but look at SketchFab as well. I added an embed to the 3D Warehouse embed test page above.
Enscape have just added a web standalone to its features. You can embed the url of the rendered model to your page.
just tried it on a spare page of my website and it looks ok ā¦embed test
I used a really heavy model that needs some work to see how it coped, it would probably load faster with a smaller modelā¦(obj of building with stairs added in sketchup)
the link below is how it looks before embedding the page. stand alone test
HI gsharp,
the obj is created with a Matteroprt camera, its not accurate enough for manufacturing dimensions (use flexijet for site measurements) but is good for documenting site conditions and showing clients products before manufacturing
Iām on Firefox. I copied and pasted link into Chrome and it did work there. I thought maybe itās ad blocking in Firefox, like third party cookies, but turning that off didnāt seem to help.
It works for me, but I found enscape trial was too short to really get to grips with it.
I managed to post one render to my page but never went any further due to time constraints for me and the trial finishing.
