About viewing and interacting with 3D assets viewing-three-d-assets
This section describes how to view and interact with 3D assets two different ways: from within the asset details page and from within the 3D Media component in Sites.
The interactive 3D viewer includes, among other things, a collection of interactive camera controls that let you orbit, zoom, and pan the 3D asset.
The time it takes to open a 3D asset in the Asset Details page view depends on several factors. These factors include such things as the following:
- Bandwidth to the server.
- Latencies to the server
- Complexity of the image.
In addition, the capabilities of the client computer-such as a workstation, notebook, or mobile touch device-are also important to consider when you manipulate the camera interactively. A reasonably powerful system with good graphics capabilities can make the interactive 3D viewing experience smoother and more favorable.

Publish static Dynamic Media 3D assets publishing-three-d-assets
Dynamic Media accepts various 3D file formats that are supported as static content in Dynamic Media. Static content means that you can upload and published 3D assets, but there is no support for dynamic imaging or image refitting that is associated with the 3D asset. The reason is because Dynamic Media Imaging Server does not recognize 3D formats. As such, after you publish a 3D asset in Dynamic Media, you have an instant URL that you can copy. The URL for the 3D asset follows the usual Dynamic Media URL structure. However, you cannot edit any parameters in the asset鈥檚 URL, unlike traditional image assets in Dynamic Media.
See also Obtain a URL for a static asset.
In the Card View, a small globe icon appears directly below an asset鈥檚 name and to the left of its date and time to indicate that it is published. In the List View, a Published column indicates which assets are published or which are not.
If you are using Experience Manager as your WCM, use this publishing method to add the Dynamic Media 3D assets directly on your web page.
See also Publish Dynamic Media assets.
See also Publish pages.
To publish static Dynamic Media 3D assets:
-
Open a 3D asset (GLB, OBJ, or STL file format).
-
On the Details page, on the toolbar, select Quick Publish.
-
Select Close to exit the dialog box and return to the asset details page.
-
From the drop-down list to the left of the 3D asset鈥檚 file name, select Renditions.
-
Select original. When a 3D asset is published (or 鈥渁ctivated鈥), the URL button appears near the bottom-left corner of the page if all the following 3D asset conditions are met:
- The 3D asset is a supported format (GLB, OBJ, STL, and USDZ).
- The 3D asset was ingested into the Dynamic Media Image Production System (IPS).
- The 3D asset is published.
-
To display the 3D asset鈥檚 direct production URL which you can copy and use on web pages, select URL.
Alternate methods for publishing Dynamic Media 3D assets using the Dimensional viewer alternate-publish-methods
Use the following two methods for publishing Dynamic Media 3D assets if you are not using Experience Manager as your WCM.
-
URL - Use URL if you are using a third-party web content management system and you want to link Dynamic Media 3D assets to your web pages using the Dimensional viewer.
-
Embed - Use Embed when you want to view a Dynamic Media 3D asset embedded on a web page using the Dimensional viewer. You copy the embed code to the clipboard so you can paste it in your web pages. Editing of the code is not permitted in the Embed dialog box.
