Sharing 3D across the web

The wonderful thing about the web is that you can share content. 3D content until now hasn't been easy to do this with however. Fixdit looks to help change this and for realtime 3D do what YouTube did for video, plus we've already begun implementing the technology. As we've outlined before, YouTube has it's Video Players and within each of them is contained a video to be played. Fixdit's 3D Object Viewer is the three dimensional equivilent. Every 3D Object Viewer has contained within it an object that can then be manipulated. 

Pimp It 3D is a Fixdit home grown project that lets you customise an object in realtime 3D, then show off your creation throughout the internet. One way of sharing your custom design is to embed the actual 3D Object Viewer within your own web pages or blog. YouTube has an embed facility which makes the code available in the top right hand corner of any video's page (fig. 1).

After making your selections to customise the look of the video player, you then copy the text in the 'Embed' box and paste it into your own HTML ready pages. 3D object viewer's have a similar tool (fig. 2).

Below is an example of an embeded 3D player in action. I made my selections over at Pimp It 3D, hit the copy button and pasted it straight inside this post.
