Hi!,
Would anybody be aware of a small 3D viewer that I can package with a 3D model so then folks can download and view it?. Maybe as a single .exe?.
I've tried some of the 3D web viewers and even some 3D engines but they're way too big. Nobody wants to download a 10 meg viewer (or java, or the net framework) just to view a single 1 meg model!. :eek: I even considered making my own 3D viewer with something simple like Blitz3D or Purebasic as they make really small executables, but their 3D engines lack normal mapping. :cry:
and why aren't more people uploading their 3D models to the net for people to view in 3D?. Perhaps it's a lack of 3D viewers? or maybe a fear of their models being stolen?.
