Re: [NTG-context] embedding 3d pdf
Sorry, I fail to understand your comment.
ah, it's not a comment at all.
Just to keep 3d things under the same subject
On one hand, MeshLab can convert from other 3D formats to U3D (older Adobe format) and embed U3D into PDF files via LaTeX with movie15 package, thus
it may be useful in 3D PDF workflow in general, on the other hand it does not have anything to do with ConTeXt.
While MeshLab may be of great use if you have to convert old data or process output from some existing tool, in cases when you make your model from scratch by hand or create 3D model file in your own program Asymptote may be a better choice since it supports newer PRC 3D format, that is much richer in features and has better prospects when it comes to support and development by Adobe. On the minus side Asymptote is under active development and some of its advantages are not there yet - but so is ConTeXt.
yes just now with blender
http://www.blender.org/features-gallery/features/and meshlib
one can (in theory) embed 3d models
using
\executesystemcommand
and your macros.
BTW
I'm not aware of any opensource tools (apart asymptote)
that are PRC 3D-able: do you ?
Sincerely,, Michail
