Ways to share your images - micheus - 05-20-2020

Wings3D forum doesn't offers too many room for image attachments, so the recommendation is that you use any image host of your preference.

You can use any image sharing hosts to get a link to be shared here in the forum, like Postimages and MediaFire that offer a free account option.

But, besides the usual links provided by these image hosters, it's possible to share images with preview from other sites like Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox that most of us have an account.

Here is the way you can do that:
  • Google Drive:
    At your Google Drive account, when you use the option to create a link for share it will create a link like this: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxuGGuBBD8DXRmE4aVc4YmV4emM
    or
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxuGGuBBD8DXRmE4aVc4YmV4emM/view?usp=sharing


    In order to add the image preview here in the forum we must to use the tag gdrive and the image id (the bold sequence of characters like above) :
    Code:
    [gdrive]0BxuGGuBBD8DXRmE4aVc4YmV4emM[/gdrive]

    IMPORTANT:
    1. Click the image you want to share.
    2. At the top right, click Get shareable link.
    3. Next, choose "Anyone with the link" instead of leave it Restrict.

.
  • Dropbox
    In order to share images from Dropbox, when you get the link for share you must to change the termination in the image link from ?dl=0 to ?raw=1.

    So, when you click in the toolbar button "Insert Image" and the dialog asking for the URL you can past the link and edit its termination like this:
    Code:
    past the: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ns496xveau0ms57/image-test.jpg?dl=0
    and edit its final to be:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/ns496xveau0ms57/image-test.jpg?raw=1

.
  • Microsoft OneDrive
    In your OneDriver browser find the image you want to share, double click to view it and after it be displayed select the option View Original. Now, copy the link in the address bar of your web browser.
    Then, in the post editor, click in the toolbar button "Insert Image" and in the dialog asking for the URL you can past the link you copied from OneDrive:

3D visualization is also supported for P3D via a button on toolbar and Sketchfab by using the bbcode supplied by Sketchfab.

At the Sketchfab, access the visualization of your model and look for the "</> Embed" button (Embedding your models); Access it and in the dialog shown look for the Code format and check the Use BBCODE option; copy and past the text here in your post.
It should looks like this:
Code:
