Can the real-time 3D models be viewed on a Mac/Windows/Linux computer?
The 3D models can be viewed on any personal computer, independent of platform. The browser should have Java installed/enabled. (see next question). |
|
Are 3rd party plug-ins required?
Other than Java (which most computers have installed), no additional browser plug-ins have to be installed in order to view the 3D models. Click here to see Adobe's latest statistics for Flash and Java user base. |

How large are the 3D files?
Given the quality of the final models, the file sizes are surprisingly modest. A typical 3D mobile phone will be around 250-400KB depending on the design. |
|
Can the 3D model be customised to my requirements?
Yes, all our models are custom made to YOUR requirements. We create bespoke 3D models exactly to the customer's specification. |
|
Can my model have moving parts?
Yes, e.g. slider phones can be made to open and close at the press of a button. |
|
Can my model be shown in various colours?
Yes, if your product is available in multiple colours, we can make a model which changes colour at the click of a button (e.g. this mobile phone) |
|
How is the 3D model made?
By using a NextEngine 3D Scanner HD*, an accurate 3D model of the product is obtained. We then optimise this model to obtain a low polygon, low bandwidth, 3D model, suitable for real-time viewing in a web browser. Realistic textures are applied to the model, 2D backdrop elements are added and finally, the model is published in a format suitable for viewing in a web browser.
*We can also work from CAD data, detailed measurements, blueprints and photographs of the product. |
