Dear All, since ConTeXt lacks support for embedding 3D models (U3D or PRC) into PDF (btw, is pdf annotations support in context/luatex combination fit for end-user or is "in transition"?) I have tried to embed some 3D PDFs from http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/gallery/3D%20graphs/ and http://www.iaas.msu.ru/tmp/u3d/pdf/ using \externalfigure[3dpf.pdf] \startpagefigure[3dpdf.pdf]\stoppagefigure \copypages[3dpdf.pdf][n=1] but only the preview (flat) images show up, not the 3D model, that must appear after clicking on it in Adobe Reader. File size shows that the 3D annotation data was not taken from the 3D PDF file into ConTeXt output. Any advice on possible workarounds? Any hope for ConTeXt fixes? Or making a link to an external PDF file is the only option for now? Sincerely, Michail PS. I have seen the code from Renaud AUBIN in the "U3D (embedded 3D objects)" thread, http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2006/020220.html but it is too ugly and old a hack to start any work from.

How do you make this http://www.nibua-r.org/ConTeXt/devel/new3dartwork/models/context.u3d -- luigi

Great, i've googlized and found http://artandlogic.blogspot.com/2008/08/blender-to-acrobat-3d.html then http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/ It's worth to give a try to this CAD chain! Renaud Aubin a écrit :
Blender is... but u3d export is not possible with open source tools in 2006/ early 2007

while the macros there are a great improvement from what was posted on the list and look extandable for my purposes (thanks, Renaud), the other question remains - does it make sense to try to implement 3d model embedding in proper way for public use now or the underlying luatex/context part has not been developed/updated yet? LuaTeX roadmap promised that "Think of annotations and object management. The first code will show up later in 2008." Did it? Is there a ConTeXt API to it? Is it planned to come in some future?

spec-fdf and spec-pdf are occasionally extended (but nowadays pdf itself is not so much evolving) there will bea dedicated luatex/mkiv backend module next year; first i need to rewrite lots of other code (currently i'm redoing the reference related code, and when that's done, the backend rewriting is easier) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

BTW, If you are able to make some samples with context mkiv, please do them and then wikifi it. Something is better than nothing .

Renaud's "u3d" inclusion macros seem to be modeled after "mov" inclusion. But including movies does not work for me in minimals (see my post on that). Sincerely, Michail

Sorry Michail , but I'm really busy in others context MkIV area. BTW, I found that download mails from http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/ sometimes help -- luigi
Dear All, I am slowly implementing Subj. for mkiv + luatex combo and it already kinda works.. Is there anyone on the list now interested in testing/using it? Sincerely, Michail
