Hello,

Recently I have done few VR renders in Visualize that I have delivered just as that to the client. But now for first time I need to upload them on the web, and I'm not able (I'm not too much used to wordpress...).

As I understand, I've installed a plugin WP File Manager, that works as FTP and can store files and folders. I upload the whole folder to the file manager, but I'm not aware of how to start it, nor to import in some post.
- Offline in Windows explorer, it works great opening the "Open.html" file, but nothing happen when I try to open it in wordpress WP File Manager.

Please anyone help me, do I need additional plugin to create the VIEW in the post? Or ho` I can do it.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Ivan

Any thoughts on this , anyone ??

Brian Hillner - any suggestion ? ...till now I found a software called WEBROTATE360, I imported rendered photos from Visualize to that software. The created folder uploaded on wordpress works great. Check it here: NewProject4

NOW, I don't want to use second software , also it puts the tag "powered by webrotate 360" at the top

So, is it possible to upload the folder directly as it is generated from Visualize and how ?

==> This is what I got in the Visualize output folder:

In the DATA folder:

When I open the "Open.html" I get white window with only this:
Nothing loads here.

Any thoughts? Is my folder wrong or I should upload differently (tried this way many times..) And the same images from the data folder uploaded through WEBROTATE360 are the ones from the link above..

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Ivan

  I'm not a web expert unfortunately and cannot speak on the full end-to-end solution to display the "Interactive Image" renders from Visualize on websites.
  
  Does this Visualize Forum link help?
  Has anyone been able to get the VR from Visualize Pro working in IE
  
  If not, I would recommend to ask this question in the proper Visualize Forum to see what the rest of the Community thinks:

  Ha ha, Ivan. I've used WebRotate 360 for a couple years now to create interactive 360/3D views of our products for use on large touch enabled screens for interactive showcases at trade shows. I render out 5 or 6 orbits with 30 or so images per orbit in Visualize to bring into WebRotate 360 then export out the scene. It works pretty well but not quite as smooth as I'm trying to do in other software.
  
  I see you only did a single orbit with what looks like more that 30 images to get it pretty smooth. Nice job. You didn't use them in your 360 view, but I really like the active and dynamic hotspots you can add in WebRotate 360. You can also buy the enhanced license to get rid the WebRotate branding.
  
  I'm still trying to refine my workflows as I'm stuck with multiple ones to do multiple types of experiences with SOLIDWORKS models. I haven't found an efficient way to just use Visualize to setup the materials and appearances for the models, then export directly, or to other apps, various different types of interactive experiences. My hope is SOLIDWORKS really goes all in with Visualize to make it a fully encompassing content creation suite for 2D, 3D and XR (VR, AR, MR) experiences for business and industry. Brian Hillner knows what I'm hoping for as I've bugged him enough times about things. I'm willing to move and join the team on this one Brian... hint, hint.

    Point taken, Mark We've anticipated the market shift to XR experiences and will be delivering on that front across the entire SOLIDWORKS portfolio - several products in fact. Can't comment on what or when exactly, but we are starting to close the gap and XR features being released.
    
    XR features in current SOLIDWORKS products are:
    1) XR Exporter available in SW CAD 2019 Standard, Pro & Premium
    2) DIRECT VR mode in eDrawings Pro Desktop 2019 sp2
    
    Watch the video on this page to learn more about both:

      Yep, I know about both of those Brian, but... photoreal is the key here.
      
      Right now photoreal is super hard to do with SOLIDWORKS models and interactive experiences. If I had five more of me, I could crank them out as fast as they're needed.

    Nice response Mark Jackson , That's exactly what I was doing, I did also a samples with more orbits, but I thought to avoid using (and buying) additional software to complete the task. My expectation was that I can use it directly as generated from Visualize.
    
    Your suggestion is great, I can switch to webrotate360 full version and keep it simple...
    
    - THE SUGGESTION FROM Brian Hillner for the Visualize Forum link make change in my case. I can see the images uploaded now. Tomorrow I will try with importing the images in a web post, but I think now it is ok since it loads the images.
    
    Thanks to both for the help!
    
    Best regards,
    Ivan

Hi Ivan,
I do not have experience in Visualize VR but have worked on on other softwares.

Does VISUALIZE VR create a bunch of images and an .html file to view it ?

Then you might wanna look into iFrame and how to embedd iFrames in Wordpress.

Here is a link for doing it with Keyshot VR.

  Thanks for your reply Ravi Teja.
  
  "Does VISUALIZE VR create a bunch of images and an .html file to view it ?"
  - yes it is. It uses javascripts in one folder, and bunch of images in other folder, the .html file connect them and create the output.
  
  Brian's response above solved my issue, I found the answer on the link he sent. The problem was that the folder containing the images was named "Images" and in the javascripts was called as "images" (lower "i"). Since browsers are case sensitive, it was not able to find the folder. I just need to rename the folders to "images" and it load them.
  
  Another problem that I encounter now is that I can't make the images to be responsive together with the iframe (images are bigger than the container, so you can't see whole image... ), but I don't care on this. I'm not web expert, so this is enough, just to show my work (and further work).
  
  Here is my result now: https://ivandesignportfolio.000webhostapp.com/2019/03/red-hydrogen-one-2
  
  Many thanks to all of you guys!
  
  Best regards,
  Ivan
