Suggestion - p3d.in integration/tag

Would be really neat to have this site integrated with, say, [p3d]-tag. Could easily embed model previews into mod pages or show off work in progress more easily :)

For instance, I already have a link in my mod description to this, but would be nice to have it embedded directly, like Youtube videos.

Does this need some browser plugin or something to work?

If I follow the 2nd link to the example, I'm getting a "JavaScript Error: invalid arguments", and besides a nice static image of an AK47 (or whatever) and an eternal "Loading..." message there's nothing to see, or do, there.

Nope, it should just use WebGL, no separate plugins required. JavaScript, maybe. What browser do you use? Chrome and FireFox do work at least for me.

That's likely the cause. I guess there is no WebGL in my MacOS. I'll try it from inside my Windows VM next. I'm using Firefox in both.

 

edit: Well, close but not quite there, yet. From within Windows I get a "Sorry, your graphics card doesn't support WebGL" error message now, but no script errors. That's what I get for running it inside a virtual machine. Means it does find WebGL under MacOS, but for some other incompatibility it still can't run. Maybe my browser version is too low. I'm forced to keep FF at 5 for some work-critical plugins to stay operational. On the Windows side it's the latest version, as I'm not using this one for work. Once they stop redesigning the entire plugin framework with each new update, maybe I'll be allowed to update my browser, too, in future.

 

Regardless, I've given it a good read and an online showcase of 3D assets in OBJ file format really sounds like something which could come in handy in regards to game modding. NifSkope and Blender both support OBJ im- and export natively. :thumbsup:
