Description

The neo3d plugin for VisualNEO Web enables developers to add 3D graphics and interactivity to web applications using a range of commands to create, modify, and manipulate 3D shapes and objects within a canvas. Here’s an overview of its capabilities:

3D Object Creation:

neo3d allows for the creation of basic 3D shapes like spheres, cylinders, cones, cubes, and polygons. Each object can be customized with specific attributes such as color, size, position, and rotation using commands like neo3dDrawSphere, neo3dDrawCylinder, and neo3dDrawBox.
For more complex shapes, developers can use neo3dDrawPath and neo3dDrawPolygon, which allow custom path-based 3D object creation and versatile shape rendering.

Transformations and Scaling:

With neo3dScale and neo3dRotate, developers can scale and rotate individual objects or entire scenes, enabling a wide range of visual effects and enhancing the interactive experience.
Objects can be transformed (moved) on the X, Y, or Z axes using neo3dTranslate, allowing full 3D positioning within the canvas.

Grouping and Layering:

The plugin supports grouping objects with neo3dNewGroup and neo3dCopyObjectGroup, which facilitates managing multiple 3D objects as single units for collective transformations and effects.
Grouping is beneficial for animations, as developers can apply a rotation or translation to an entire group of objects, allowing for synchronized movements and complex scene designs.

Interactivity and Animation:

neo3d provides animation functions like neo3dAnimate, which can apply continuous rotation on any axis, useful for creating a rotating object or scene.
It also supports real-time user interaction, including mouse drag and zoom functions (neo3dEnableDrag and neo3dSetZoom), allowing users to explore 3D objects interactively.

Rendering and Export Options:

Developers can render the scene onto the canvas using neo3dRender, updating the view to reflect any changes made to objects, properties, or positioning.
3D objects created with neo3d can be displayed within container objects, making it possible to integrate 3D graphics seamlessly within web app interfaces.

The neo3d plugin provides a robust set of tools for adding detailed 3D graphics and interactions, making it ideal for apps requiring visualizations, simulations, or interactive 3D elements.
