Turntable Viewer

Turntable Viewer would be here. No or old flash player installed.

Description

The JS Turntable Viewer is a flash based application, suitable to embed rendered image sequences with turntables of 3D models or 3D sculpts on web pages. The Viewer can handle both a single turntable or a gallery of turntables.

Main Features

Loads rendered jpg/png/gif image sequences.
Loads AS3 compiled SWF files as containers for image sequences.
Built in gallery to select between several turntables.
Create custom themes for the interface of the viewer.

To do

Support for AVM1 (AS1 and AS2) SWF files (Generated by After Effects).
I’ll look into the possibility to use mov and/or flv for turntable containers.
Option to add titles and descriptions for each turntable in a gallery.

Usage

All documentation of how to use the Turntable Viewer is included in the download archive. Documentation.htm contains all available configuration settings you can use to customize the viewer, using image sequences and how to setup a XML file for a gallery of turntable clips.

In the example folder I’ve included example.htm together with a few turntable clips that showcases four different implementations of the viewer embedded in one page. Take a look at that file to see how to apply the information contained in the Documentation.htm in the different scenarios.

The viewer allows you to change the colors of the interface through the configuration settings, if you want to customize it further, take a look in the theme folder in the archive. There you’ll find a template theme flash document which you can use as a starting point to completely design your own look for the viewer, using your own graphics.
