Blue Marble Project

We’re pleased to announce the newest development in our ongoing partnership with View22 Technologies Inc. BMP will now offer the Scenecaster Virtual Stores solution to clients in addition to our existing menu of 3D modeling services. The Virtual Showroom technology allows us to create Interactive 3D Vignettes for Building Product Manufacturers who are looking for innovative ways to reach customers and designers. The Scenecaster Virtual Showroom technology is a powerful, flash based platform which can easily be integrated into an exiting website, as well as any e-commerce portal.

Google recently launched an update to the 3D Warehouse which allows visitors to view the models in 3D right on the website, without having to download the model first. The 3D view of the model is automatically generated when the model is uploaded to the Warehouse. Under the hood, the 3D View is a simple set of rendered images of the model that are taken at intervals to simulate a 360 degree spin view.

This update will allow us to deliver more accurate data to our clients about the use and popularity of their 3D content. Having a 3D View of the model on the website means that people may be less likely to download a 3D Model out of mere curiosity. Chances are greater that if you’re model is being downloaded, it’s because someone actually wants to use it for something.

To test the ‘3D View’, click on the tab in top right corner of the image below.
