Implementing 3D/AR Elements

3D files

One of the great features of 3D files in Showell is that they are visible everywhere, whether it's in the digital Sales Room, on the web, or through native apps. You can showcase your 3D content to clients and customers across various platforms.

Additionally, you have the option to add background images for your 3D contents. To do this, create a 'skyboxes' folder in your Applications resources and upload the background images you want to use with your 3D files.

Showell offers a range of 3D settings that you can apply within the Showell App. These settings allow you to customize and enhance the viewing experience of your 3D files.

When it comes to file types, we recommend using GLB, FBX, or U3D. However, Showell can automatically convert many other file types to GLB when you upload them. For optimal results, it is still recommended to convert your 3D files in advance to GLB using software applications like Blender, Autodesk, or SolidWorks. This ensures that your files are ready to be showcased seamlessly in Showell.

Smart and Interactive Tools (Web Apps)

In addition to 3D files, Showell allows you to enhance your 3D elements with interactive tools that provide additional functionality and interactivity. These can include features such as displaying informative content, switching product variations like colors, or breaking down complex objects into more detailed elements. This gives you the flexibility to present your 3D content in a more dynamic and engaging way.

These interactive tools are not limited to 3D enhancements. They can also include calculators, forms, configurators, and other dynamic elements to support your sales process.

You can create these tools yourself, work together with Showell, or collaborate with one of our specialized partners who focus on building advanced 3D environments and experiences.

For more advanced and integrated use cases, Flow AI Apps can be used to design structured, interactive solutions tailored to your sales process.

AR files (Augmented Reality)

Augmented Reality files are a fantastic way to showcase your 3D content in a real-world environment. With AR, you have the freedom to view your 3D content in a way that feels immersive and lifelike. Imagine being able to place a lamp on your desk, a tractor in your neighbor's field, or even your dream car in your own garage. AR brings your 3D models to life and allows you to interact with them in the context of your everyday surroundings.

AR/3D files do come with some requirements:

• This is only available to view with iPad and iPhone that are released in 2017 or later
• The supported file format is USDZ. Keep in mind that there are multiple tools which you can use to convert your 3D-models to the right format. For example: Apple Reality Converter, viewAR or Designar
