Re: can somehow link external image to point Maybe... with a little programming... There is a Export to HTML5 plug-in that allows you you to publish your home on a web page with controls like you have in the 3D view (rotate, zoom, select levels, etc). This is based on WebGL. I haven't looked into it or even tried it but maybe with an overlay link or similar you could create something close to what you want. You might have to delve into the generated code from the plugin to change some things to make this work.

Re: can somehow link external image to point If you decide to go the "publish as html5" way you could also create a simple webpage with links to your photos that can be opened in a separate tab. Not as nice as links in the view itself but much simpler to create. You will need web hosting to make it available for others to see. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |

Re: can somehow link external image to point Maybe my question is stupid, but is your request strictly related to the html export, or it's fine to have it in the desktop program? |

Re: can somehow link external image to point Maybe my question is stupid, but is your request strictly related to the html export, or it's fine to have it in the desktop program? Are you thinking about a plugin where an object with a custom link property overlays the photo in the 3Dview?Now THAT is a feature I could use very much but in an entirely different context as what ploufus asked about. I often use screenshots of (details of) furniture when designing my own furniture and such an option would replace the constant need to tab between Sweet home 3D and an image viewer or to use smaller windows side-by-side. ploufus didn't state the need for publishing Html5 export for other users to see but he did mention wanting to keep the links when he makes changes to the house. Such a plugin might be exactly what he needs. I don't know if he prefers to see it in the 2Dview or the 3Dview. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |

Re: can somehow link external image to point Yes, it would be easy to make such plugin with the new features introduced in version 7.2. Since objects can now be selected from the 3D view, a custom selection handler can be used to read the link from a custom property and take appropriate actions. Opening the URL in a new window would be trivial, but with some effort it could automatically download the image, import it as texture, and add a textured box at the proper location to show the image in the 3D view as a sort of augmented reality experience. The URL could be a web link, a local file on disk, or even a texture embedded in the model for max portability. |

Re: can somehow link external image to point No, I did meam that such feature could be made available by writing a plugin. This requires programming skills. |
