There are many dimensions to Cloudinary\u2019s capabilities, from image and video transformations to intelligent digital asset management and beyond. Functionality around 3D models is up and coming, so it\u2019s time to check in and see where we\u2019re at, bearing in mind that there\u2019s plenty more functionality to come.<\/p>\n

Forget the ABCs of using 3D with Cloudinary, we\u2019re going straight for the 3 Ds: Display<\/a>, Deliver<\/a> and Discover<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Display<\/h2>\n

The beauty of 3D models is the ability to view an object from any angle. So, if you just want to capture some realistic images from your model, rather than wasting time and money on a real photo shoot, use the camera<\/code> effect on your model instead.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t yet have a Cloudinary account, you can sign up for free<\/a>, then upload your 3D models<\/a> as image<\/strong> asset types to your Media Library. You can try out any of the effects in this post by adding transformation parameters to the delivery URLs of your models, which you can do by hand or using an SDK<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The camera<\/a> effect accepts many different parameters including horizontal and vertical positions, zoom, environment and exposure – each giving you the ability to find your perfect shot.<\/p>\n

Here are the e_camera<\/code> parameters used in the following example of the cute kitty model<\/a>:<\/p>\n
