is it possible to insert 3D Models and having the leanrers to rotate it with their own mouse? If not yet, when will this be available? I find this very useful and have seen it at the Learntec.
We're working on the ability to add 360° media assets to your courses, and include various interactive elements to those assets. We're confident this feature will be in your hands by the end of the year.
Those are all the details we have, but I promise to share all updates with you as soon as we have them!
That sounds great, Katie! We do have a lot of 3D images of medical content and we would like to use storyline to put them all together in a nice way and add additional content. We can export it as PDF (with 3D), .OBJ or .STL file and would like to integrate them (not embed).
Hi Katie, I just found this discussion as I have the same request at the moment. We have a lot of 3 D models which we want to include in StoryLine projects. Are there any timeline when this function will be available for 360°?
We're hard at work to get 360° media into your hands by the end of this year, and that is still true. Since you're now subscribed to this discussion, we'll send you an email notification the moment this feature is live.
Tour all the features we have planned for Articulate 360:
Create immersive learning experiences with 360° images. Add interactive elements, such as hotspots and markers, to engage learners as they explore.
360° images are currently in public beta for Storyline 360, which means you can use them for production as we continue to enhance them.
To take advantage of this feature, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let us know if you have any questions by posting here or by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.
The ability to use 3D Models in Storyline 360 is a feature request that has been shared with our team. This conversation is attached so that we can share any updates with you in the future.
I believe the closest Articulate can provide right now is the "add pictures as states" function.
I've mocked up an example which uses a slider to change the state of a png sequence. You do have to manually attach the trigger to each state, which is an absolute bear, but you can do some cool things. I once saw a 3D tour of a facility made of multiple layers of rendered objects set up this way, so that you could click on a tool in the room no matter the perspective.
You'll note that frame 30 pops. I'm not sure why it did that, but its a small matter relative to building the triggers.
Hello there! Our team is hoping to use this feature in the future, and I was wondering if there were any updates on the addition of 3D model tools in Storyline at the moment. We would love to learn about any next steps!
Thanks for reaching out and adding your voice to this request! We don't have an update to share, but I've included you in our feature request so that we can update this discussion if this feature makes it on our feature roadmap.
Hi Steven. Support for FBX or OBJ 3D models needs to be added to your roadmap. There is genuine interest for this capability in the community to be added. We really want this ability as well. What needs to happen to get this added to your roadmap? Who do we need to influence?
Your hack for approximating an interactive 3D model by changing the states with a slider is absolutely brilliant! I wish the modelling feature was native to Articulate, but in the meantime this will do nicely. That's what I love about the community: we're the ones who make learning work. Thanks!
It shows the way how to move and turn a 3D object (glb file created in tinkercad.com and enhanced with model-viewer.com) with mouse, mouse buttons and mouse wheel.
All material, source code and files are ready prepared for download on the last slide. Feel free to use it and share your opinion about it.
To enable insert 3D objects, instead of using the web link will be a big improvement for storyline 360. Not only for training, it can also be used in many other places. I know for some reason this must be a difficult thing to do, but please, please push for it. We instructional designers are eager to have this feature.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ATLEAST INTERACTIVE FBX MODEL SUPPORT
Hi, everyone!
While we don't support 3D models yet, I wanted to share that the feature my colleague Katie mentioned a few months ago has just been released!
Good day,
is there any new news about 3D models, will it show up on the roadmap soon?
Thanks in advance

Hi there, are there any news to this topic?
Hello HellermannTyton ACADEMY,
Thanks so much for your interest. We do not have any updates at this time. We'll be sure to update this forum thread with any news!
Have a great day and happy developing!
+1, please add this feature!
Looking for this feature as well. Any updates?

Hi, is there any news regarding this feature?
What about using WebObjects with an Online 3D viewer? I can get that to work with the website https://3dviewer.net/#model=assets/models/solids.obj,assets/models/solids.mtl.
360 Review of 3D Viewer.net Web Object
Have not looked into it any further, was just wondering if Articulate would support 3d models.
Hi Menno!
It sounds like you had questions about support for 3-D models in Storyline. I'd be happy to share some insight on that!
Currently, 3-D models are not supported in Storyline 360 however, you can embed the 3-D model as a Web Object.
This article goes into a little more detail on working with Web Objects:
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any more questions!
'We're confident this feature will be in your hands by the end of the year.' That was 4 years ago, and still nothing....
For the weekly challenge #446 I created this:
https://360.articulate.com/review/content/94db2865-b623-4893-8654-f00a7e10abeb/review
It shows the way how to move and turn a 3D object (glb file created in tinkercad.com and enhanced with model-viewer.com) with mouse, mouse buttons and mouse wheel.
All material, source code and files are ready prepared for download on the last slide. Feel free to use it and share your opinion about it.
Happy to hear from you soon.
