@mcolinp Hi, and welcome to this forum!

I also agree that the turntable rotation button in the bottom menu; should have a setting to make it active by default on scene load. I think this is important for people viewing a 3D scene perhaps for the first time; likely not realizing it is an interactive experience, which is awaiting their interaction . . . .

Thanks for suggesting, we'll consider adding the auto-rotate-onload option to the target camera settings.

Another thought, is to have a interaction overlay demo when the scene loads. Something that showed little circles (perhaps SVG finger prints); that demonstrate the finger or mouse movements and how they effect the scene/camera, etc. this "overlay" could be a darkened translucent layer over the scene; that could be exited by the user;

Indeed some hint on startup could be useful. We'll think about how it could be designed.

and even perhaps a button added to the other existing options in the bottom menu; to be able to bring back up the demo interaction/navigation mode.

Yeah, btw, there is the button with a question mark on it. It shows the help window.

Also: I was wondering if there were perhaps any settings to change the speed of the turntable?

Since version 14.12 camera movement velocity can be tweaked in Blender. More info.

Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko surface, on which the Philae robotic probe landed on November 2014, was reconstructed by the enthusiast as an interactive 3D model and rendered on the website with Blend4Web.

На почту поступил вопрос:


Здравствуйте.

Каким образом вставить Ваш дизайнерский макет "С Новым годом!"
https://www.blend4web.com/ru/article/84 на свой сайт, изменив текст и
новогоднее видео?

В скаченных SDK только некоторые .blend файлы без инструкции как это
все скомпилировать в готовый проект, без видео. Хотелось бы порадовать
своих посетителей сайта такой заставкой, но со своим текстом и видео в
телевизоре.

Hi,

You can link it with a require call, that is

See also API reference
We'll consider implementing such functionality in NLA Script, but that's not a promise

fantastic, downloaded and will check it out. Does this release also include being able to click on an object and have it open a new page?

You can do it right now through API. NLA support is a bit different story though.

The Blend4Web team proudly presents a New Year's release of the open source platform for creating 3D Internet apps to the community and its partners. Among new features: support for camera velocity settings, convenient API for outlining 3D objects under the cursor and full support for the MAPPING node. In addition, we have prepared some gifts for you: first, we have included the source file of The Island in the open source distribution and second, we have created an interactive greeting card which you send to your friends and loved ones.
