3D content platform Sketchfab (very useful to deal with models for 3D configurators) offers a new tool for developers who want to share their favorite 3D, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) content with a broad audience. The company`s new download API allows any 3D application to integrate Sketchfab`s object library with a [...]
When creating any 3D model (for example for a 3D configurator) that represents a room, light is an element that can have a significant impact on the user experience. We use a common technique in computer graphics, called light baking, to simulate the illumination of a 3D model. [...]
The LAB colour model is a triaxial colour system and plays more and more an important role in the creation process of 3D configurators. Characteristic features are the absolute colours, i.e. that the colours are exact. This means that the LAB color space is the only way to communicate different colors across different devices. [...]
Motion Tracking lets you track various objects like 3D configurators to add a moving title or other effects to VideoStudio. In this tutorial, you`ll learn how to track a moving title in VideoStudio. You`ll learn the following content: Set up object tracking using video clips. Define things within a video to track. Add visible tracking. [...]
In the following article we would like to talk about the upcoming realtime engine (well-suited to create 3D configurators) called Eevee by Blender 2.8. Eevee will follow the trend of the faming industry and support high-end graphics in combination with a responsive real-time viewport. The following video illustrates the features of Eevee: [...]
Google recently announced that on 01.03.2018 the Tango project (also important for 3D configurators) will be officially terminated. Tango is an early effort by Google to bring Augmented Reality (AR) to mobile devices, but the investments in Tango have never really paid off. The system was introduced in 2014 and has been used in [...]
2016 (also for 3D configurators) was a great year for Augmented Reality (AR). Pokemon Go fought its way into public consciousness, Apple`s Tim Cook can`t stop talking about the future potential of AR and Google has developed a new software offering that promises to take implementation to a whole level. I`m talking about Google`s [...]
Sculpting or modeling - when does which approach makes sense? Which objects are best handled by modeling (for example to create a 3D configurator) and which are best handled by sculpting? Sculpting and modeling seem to be very similar... if you use the wrong approach, it is synonymous with failed art and a longer [...]
Last week we had a visit from Google. They were mainly here to talk to the marketing team (specialized to promote 3D configurators as a service) about search engines and the like for advertising purposes, but towards the end of the day some of us came to find out about the latest and greatest Google [...]
In previous articles we have reported that facebook (well-suited to promote 3D configurators) has been making it possible to post 3D content in glTF 2.0 file format via the newsfeed for a few days now. In this article we would like to go into the glTF format in more detail and provide you with the [...]
