Forum support for P3D added

[optigon]

If you are not sure what P3D is, check their FAQ:
http://p3d.in/faq

Basically, you can get a free account and upload 3d models, which you can then embed on webpages and this forum.

Checkout the editor toolbar for the new green P icon, which let's you insert a p3d model which has been uploaded to their site.


Here is an example:
(Click and Drag the model)

As I mentioned in my gallery post, super AWESOME! You rock man. I hope it wasn't too much trouble?

One issue though, I am unable to see the green P icon when creating a post. A workaround, for those like me, is to use the P3D tag, as such.

Code:

[p3d]http://p3d.in/e/DzdN6[/p3d]

The '/e/' matters as that tells p3d that the model is being embedded.

This is what is needed for a forum that is about 3D

Someone is having some problem to visualize it in Firefox 7.0.1? Here i can see the green P with the message "Loading Model", but nothing happens... Same problem at p3d.in site... Some ideas? Thanks.

@Fonte

Are you the one using FF 7?! That is old school! ^_^

Try newest Chrome (Stable or Dev) or newest FF (I think they are on 15 now?)

I think IE 10 can also accomplish this.

This is indeed a great addition to a forum about 3D. Sadly, my old graphics card does not support WebGL....

I mistyped: i am using FF 17.0.
But i think oort found the reasons of the problem: graphic card...

[Geta-Ve]

Ahhh. Curiously, how old is your card? I have an old 8800gtx and it runs fine. I am guessing your cards are a bit older?

[optigon]

Geta Ve is right. WebGL support depends on your graphics card. Some cards don't support all viewing modes unfortunately.

The button in the editor will insert the 'e' for you. Not seeing the button, could be a cache issue... it is located beside the button for inserting an Image.

My card is several years old but not sure how many years. Sometimes it isn't just how old a card is but more about who made the card. I have an ATI Radeon 9250 128MB AGP. I have other issues due to the cards limitations.
