How do you manually upload a 3D model to web viewers?
« on: August 11, 2014, 10:28:38 AM »
I've successfully used the auto-upload feature in Photoscan (File -> Upload Model...) to upload 3D models to Verold and Sketchfab, however when I save the model as a .obj (or .ply, .dae, .3ds, etc.) then try to upload the model, the upload fails (or if it succeeds, I end up with a broken model - see attachment).

Any advice on what model formats I should be saving in / what settings I should be using when saving the models, or alternative web-based model viewers I could try would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

it is because you try to upload georeferenced model. try to export model in local coordinates.

Thanks Petrov - exporting in local coords worked nicely.
