I am just to start to create a 3D website and i am using Cinema 4D. Now my question is how can use my 3D models to my website? They are pointing to use Py4d - a plugin, but it has been removed since the version 12 of this software. What should i do now to use my 3D model together with three.js on my website? Thanks in advance.

An option would be exporting to OBJ. Then using OBJLoader.

  • thanks for your response. I tried to replace the male02.obj with my model and it works fine... however where does **.mtl** file came from? i saw that on this line of code `loader.load( 'obj/male02/vnpnlz.obj', 'obj/male02/male02_dds.mtl';` – MuntingInsekto Apr 04 '13 at 09:40
  • @vnpnlz AFAIK C4D doesn't export a .mlt file by default. you can try to ommit the .mtl for now – George Profenza Apr 04 '13 at 10:05
  • @GeorgeProfenza Thanks. BTW i just notice that my model change its color from the model view on C4D editor... How come its change its color when i used it on web? – MuntingInsekto Apr 04 '13 at 10:09

    .obj doesn't include materials, they are defined in a separate .mtl file (if the exporter makes such a file, C4D R12 does not seem to be able to do that). You could try exporting to Collada (.dae), as it includes material definitions, and using ColladaLoader. I have C4D R12, it seems to export file resources with local file paths, so if you need textures, you need to manually copy texture images to the server, then search & replace the exported .dae file to convert texture file paths to relative path that works on the web server (.dae is just XML). – yaku Apr 04 '13 at 13:17
  • @yaku thanks for your response. Does color on text consider as texture? if not then i don't have texture on my text.. it just simple a text in blue color but when i exported it as a Collada File (.dae) it became Grey in color on web. – MuntingInsekto Apr 05 '13 at 03:29
  • @vnpnlz solid color does not usually involve a texture, but sometimes that can be the case. You probably need to show your loader code, and link to the .dae, maybe even the original .c4d file. I'm mildly interested in getting stuff from C4D to Three.js so I could try and take a look (again I have R12, not sure if the files from R13 are backwards compatible though). – yaku Apr 05 '13 at 08:46
