I have some 3d models written in 3dmax/maya/cad/4dcinema , i wand to display them in my website so user can rotate the model and inspect it .
i have found this on the internet http://replimat.com/thingiview/examples/client_side_ajax.html i think it will work IF i could somehow convert those models from 3dmax/maya/cad/3dcinema to OBJ/STL .
is there any converter available for linux ? or any other method to display those models in web browser without having to install anything on the browser ? thank you .
Export your model in maya to a wavefront(.obj) file. Then you could use a library like three.js, along with this script to load and view .obj files within the browser
Programming the moveable camera can also be done using the library. If you want to use the default formats, it will be tricky as you may need to write the parser yourself if there isn't one and the spec is freely available.
