Sure enough, it added it, and I don't know if you noticed this change on the right side. I can click and drag that right over there. This is basically our bag of coffee beans. I'm thinking about applying that to this. In fact, I can take any one of these materials, and I like this metal. So we could kind of take a look at some of this. We can scroll through everything from glass to granite to solid colors, and you can get kind of shiny as well. Right in here, there's a lot of various materials baked right into Adobe Dimension. One step at a time.Now things are really going to start coming to life as I start adding materials and images, basically backgrounds to the scene, because obviously it's kind of boring right now. Some day we will be able to interact with interfaces and surfaces like shown in the latest Microsoft Office vision video. There are more announcements on this coming in Microsoft Ignite so get prepared. We’re working hard on the UX as well as adapting to key changes in underlying webgl/vr/xr tech. If not already, checkout – we’ll have more to share on Spaces publically at Ignite. So get yourself prepared to deal with voxel instead of pixel. In future developer and design need to work closely together to create even more interactive experience, but the technology base is available today. With this small hurdle making 3D visualisation possible in SharePoint I think many customers will come up with scenarios that help them do their business better.
I also plan to demo this to other customers of mine. He was amazed by this new possibility and saw many benefits for his daily work. To verify some facts, I had a short interview and demo with my engineering friend. Might be a more realistic approach to one of the possible scenarios mentioned before. Metalic coffee cup with logo in SharePoint I also created some short videos that took me three days of rendering on an old Intel 80486 with astonishing 66MHz.
I tried out VRML (Virtual Reality Markup Language – ISO Standard since 1997 ) around the year 2000. The Ars Electronica festival introduced me to a lot of amazing technologies and 3D animations. I was born and raised in Linz, Upper Austria. My approach to 3D was always more an artistic or explorative of possibilities. SharePoint also already support it today on Office 365. Wouldn’t it be easier to view everything directly on the web? Thanks to HTML5, WebGL and the available processing power, it is easier than ever before to do exactly that. This method is possible since 2005 and currently also well established.
I never really worked as an engineer, but my best friend does, and I was astonished that they work exclusively in 3D for twenty years now.įor now, to make the 3D object accessible to everyone, the current approach is to create a PDF file with embedded 3D models. Constructing in 3D was already established in the machinery industry. The two-dimensional drawing was not a thing anymore. When we entered the workforce, the situation already has changed. In school, we create 2D drawings of our engine parts, and for my graduation, I had to construct an industrial heat exchanger from scratch all in 2D. Wouldn’t it be great to self explore that on a real model in the real world as well as at home in a realistic 3D model? The industry and 3DĪt the age of nineteen in 1997, I graduated a technical college for machinery engineering in my home town Linz in Upper Austria.
Currently, my daughter is learning about the human skeleton with drawings and pictures from a book. Not only the industry can benefit from an easily accessible virtual 3D object but also society.
To make 3D models accessible to anyone is beneficial to everyone in your company. I firmly believe that many areas in the industry already work for a long time in 3D. Why do we need this? How can we use it? Last but not least, what are the benefits? Why do we need 3D in SharePoint? Since the announcement at the SharePoint Conference 2018 last year, I was thinking a lot about 3D ins context of SharePoint.
The more exciting story is now how to use technology but why and what are the possible application. Upload a 3D model saved as a GLB file to any document library and you are able to preview it live in your browser. TLDR: To enable this feature in Office 365.
